A Better Way Lyrics

You came... to lead us to our Father
You came... to show us a better way
Oh Jesus,
Help us not to forget why You came
You came, in the midst of the world ambitions
You came, in the midst of religious ambitions
You came, in the opposite spirit of man lord
You came and You showed us a holy way
Oh, You showed us a better way
Showed us the better way
Showed us a better way
Oh, You showed us a better way
You said, "I wanna show You a better way"
And You took upon Yourself oh God all our rejection
And You took upon Yourself oh God all of our ambition
And You held upon Yourself all of our anger
And You took upon Yourself the anger of our tradition
Oh God
But You came and You showed us a better way
Oh God

How many times oh Jesus could You have turned to us
And rejected with our rejection
How many times did, You could of turned to us
And beat us with our beating
How many times oh Jesus did You turn the other cheek
Look at us oh God with Your eyes of love

It's like crying out from the rocks
Crying out from the broken places
Crying out from Amsterdam
Crying out, he's crying

Show us the better way, show us the better way
The better way, the better way
There's gotta be a better way
Break the chains, break the chain
Break, break, break, break, break, break
Break the chains, break the chains,
Break, break, break, break, break, break,
Break the chains
Show us the better way, show us the better way,
Show us the better way, show us the better way,
Show us the better way, show us the better way,
Show us the better way, show us the better way,
Yeah, show us the better way,
There's gotta be a better way
Oh yeah, Jesus
Show us a better way
There is a way that leads to life but few will follow
There is a way that leads to life but few will go
There is a way that leads to life but few will follow
Oh Jesus, show us, show us
Walking with You Father God

Oh, I'm walking with You Father God
To the heart of the broken now
Walking with You Father God

When man tries to put us away from it
You just keep on ripping it open
And showing us the better way
When man tries to put up walls,

You keep healing our hearts and souls
And showing us a better way

Oh, I wanna sit on Your lap oh Father
I wanna hear Your whisper oh daddy
Oh, Father show me
