Have you heard of the way, yes, the new, living way

1.
Have you heard of the way, yes, the new, living way,
Which was opened by Jesus, God’s Son?
Have you heard, He came down, took all sin on Himself?
Have you heard how He wrestled and won?
Chorus:
For the way Jesus opened was through His own flesh.
All sin met its judgment and death.
When He cried, “It is finished,” on Calvary’s cross,
The way then was opened for us.
2.
With strong crying in prayer He cried out to His God,
And with anguish and tears battled through!
From His brow His sweat came forth like great drops of blood,
For not once His own will would He do.
3.
Will you follow Him daily, denying yourself?
Will you walk on this new, living way?
Follow Him who when hated responded in love.
Will you walk in His steps every day?
