"There Is A Way" Lyrics:

You say love is just a word, just four letters in a row
Just a thing that people say or they never tell you so
And you use every excuse to let nobody in
Now this cloud you bring around has become your only friend

And everybody saying that it's going to go away but it don't go
And everybody's telling you one day it's going to change
But you don't know if it's really going to end

But there is a way, there is a spark
There is a hope that you can hold on to
There is a lifeline come to the rescue
Just like a hand that's waiting for you
And if you believe in this I promise that you won't be alone
There is a way, the truth and the life, and the way

But if love became a man if the word had flesh and bone
Would you recognize His face if He came to bring you home?
You think you're all alone, gotta do it on your own riding solo
Is there someone you can call when you stumble and fall?
'Cause you don't know if you'll be getting up again

There is a way, there is a spark
There is a hope that you can hold on to
There is a lifeline come to the rescue
Just like a hand that's waiting for you
And if you believe in this I promise that you won't be alone
There is a way, the truth and the life, and the way

Don't you think your life's worth saving?
Don't you know that love's amazing?
Don't you want to lay your troubles down?
Lay them down

If I thought love was just a word, I might feel the same way too
But there's so much more than that and it's waiting here for you

There is a way, there is a spark
There is a hope that you can hold on to
There is a lifeline come to the rescue
Just like a hand that's waiting for you
And if you believe in this I promise that you won't be alone

There is a way, there is a way, there is a way
(Truth and the life and the way)
Come on, there is a way
(Truth and the life and the way)
There is a way, there is a way
(Truth and the life and the way)

There is a way
(Truth and the life and the way)
Ooh, there is a way back home
(Truth and the life and the way)



Reflection:

During the Baptism of Jesus and at his Transfiguration, which we can read about in all four gospels, a voice from heaven says, “This is my beloved Son.”  This simple phrase is very significant because what God says to Jesus at his baptism, God also says to all of us.  “You are my beloved son/daughter.”  God loves you.  I would bet that we all know God loves us, but perhaps because we’ve heard it all our lives, it’s easy to forget how wonderful that is.  This song is about love and a reminder of God’s love for us.  When we are having a bad day, week, or even month, there is one thing we can always relay on and that’s God’s love.  Life has its ups and downs.  It’s especially during the “downs” that we can forget or even doubt God’s love.  When those times come, remember “there is a way, there is a spark, there is a hope that you can hold on to.  There is a lifeline come to the rescue.  Just like a hand that’s waiting for you and if you believe in this, I promise that you won’t be alone,” because God loves you.

John 14:18 – “I will not leave you desolate; I will come to you.”

Romans 15:13 – “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”

Ephesians 2:4-5 – “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love he had for us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, brought us to life with Christ.”
