The Only Way (Hymn) Lyrics

[Intro - Solo Organ]

[Verse 1]
People are stirred, moved by the word
Kneel at the shrine, deceived by the wine
How was the earth conceived? Infinite space
Is there such a place? You must believe in the human race

[Bridge]
Can you believe God makes you breathe?
Why did he lose six million Jews?

[Instrumental Break]
[Piano Solo]

[Verse 2]
Touched by the wings, fierce angel brings
Sad winter storm, grey autumn dawn
Who looks on life itself? Who lights your way?
Only you can say, how can you just obey?

[Verse 3]
Don't need the word, now that you've heard
Don't be afraid, man is man-made
And when the hour comes, don't turn away
Face the light of day and do it your way
It's the only way
