Story Behind The Song
Somewhat disillusioned by divisions found among denominational Christianity, I was inspired by the clarity of Jesus' words from John 14:6, and Paul's mission to simply preach Christ and Him crucified.
Song Description
This contagiously optimistic pop tune cuts through the religious clutter, and reminds us that there is one Way to freedom - and that is the Way, Truth & Life of Jesus Christ.

Lyrics
THE TRUTH
Words & Music by Stephen Springfield
VERSE:
You?ve got to shout sometimes to hear above the shouting
Babylon is such a noisy place
Screaming, yelling, falling out won?t keep the world from doubting
Teach the Word of God that leads to faith
BRIDGE:
Not by fancy words or wise decree
That your faith stands on the Word of God and not in me
The story of the cross is all you need
Let the Spirit give them ears to hear THE TRUTH that sets them free
CHORUS:
I am the way, THE TRUTH and the life
Whoever lives and believes in Me
Will never die, you?ve got to
Live the word, and sow the seed
Then disciples are you indeed
And you will know THE TRUTH
And THE TRUTH will make you free
VERSE:
You?ve got to show me signs and wonders ?said to Moses
A cane turned to a snake, back to a cane
Earthly works of power can confuse us and oppose us
When Pharaoh?s magic did the same
BRIDGE:
Conscience doesn?t make a worthy guide
with guilt although throug Christ your justified
Doin? right don?t mean your sanctified
Only know the Christ that lives, the Christ, they crucified
CHORUS:
I am the way, THE TRUTH and the life
Whoever lives and believes in Me
Will never die, you?ve got to
Live the word, and sow the seed
Then disciples are you indeed
And you will know THE TRUTH
And THE TRUTH shall will you free
CHORUS:
Christ said
I am the THE TRUTH, the way and the life
Whoever lives and believes in Me
Will never die, you?ve got to
Live the word, and sow the seed
Then disciples are you indeed
And you will know THE TRUTH
And THE TRUTH shall make you free
