This song has been one of the songs that put me to sleep during my college days. I've battled with social anxiety most of my life and the truth that nothing could ever take the place of my God has deeply comforted me.
I have not seen many live versions of this song so this is me trying to showcase how beautiful this song is. The part in the chorus saying 'show me the way to life' and the answer given in the bridge 'you are the life' just gets me crying every time. You'd think that yes, He guides me to the ways of this life, but truth is, He guides me to Life Himself, the One Who is the Author of Life, not life according to this world. Thank you Justin Jarvis and Mary Kat Ehrenzeller for writing this song. It has ministered to me so much.
Here are the lyrics:
Verse 1:
Who can compare to You, my King
Who can compare to You, my Lord
Who can compare to You, my Friend
I looked and I've found that there's no one like You in all the Earth
Chorus:
And You take my hand, and You guide me on
You show me the way to life
And You lift my head, and You give me hope
You show me the way to life
Verse 2:
No one compares to You, my King
No one compare to You, my Lord
No one compare to You, my Friend
I looked and I've found that You're the One I needed all along
Bridge:
You are the way
You are the truth
You are the life
