The Way, Truth and Life

Risen Lord, be the way that guides my steps,
be the truth that enlightens my mind,
be the life that gives love to my heart.

Be the way: the sure path on ground even or uneven,
on the straight or turning road, the narrow or the wide.
The path of life bears your footprints. Share it with me.
You are the way to truth, to life, to heaven.

Be the truth: the golden string in uncertainty, glimpsed or fully known.
The meaning of life bears your word. Share it with us.
You are the truth on the way, of life, about heaven.

Be the life: the hope and optimism in love, the third in every friendship.
All love bears your life. Share it, Lord Jesus.
You are the life, on our way, in the truth, forever in heaven.
