I Took The High Way
And now, the end is near
And Now Their End Is Near
(Acts 8:1-4)
And so I face the final curtain.
These In 'The Way' Get My Damnation
(Acts 19:23;24:14)
My friends, I'll say it clear;
Then They Lend Me Their Ears
I'll state my case of which I'm certain.
Before Their Certain Execution
I've lived a life that's full-
I Trained In Jewbie School
I've travelled each and every highway.
Piled High And Deep In Seminary
And more, much more than this,
And What, More Can I Say
I did it my way.
'I Did It My Way'
(Matt. 7:13,14)
Regrets? I've had a few,
Footnotes, I Have A Few
But then again, too few to mention.
Not Quite Enough Through Inquisition
I did what I had to do
I Did What High Dudes Do.
(1 Kings 19:10,14; Is. 1:4-10; Matt. 23:34-39)
And saw it through without exemption.
From Ivory Towers And Full Exemptions
I planned each charted course -
I Planned With No Remorse
Each careful step along the byway,
As With The Long Damascus Highway
(Acts 9:1-8)
And more, much more than this,
And What, More Can I Say
I did it my way.
"I Did It My Way"
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,
Yes, There Were Times, I'm Sure God Knew
When I bit off more than I could chew,
When I Knew More Than I Would Do.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
"But Through It All, When There Was Doubt."
I ate it up and spit it out.
I Stopped My Ears, Began To Shout.
(Acts 7:56-60)
I faced it all and I stood tall
My Name Is Saul, And I Stood Tall
And did it my way.
"And Did It My Way."
I've loved, I've laughed and cried,
They Love, They Laugh, Then Die
I've had my fill - my share of losing.
I've Had Enough, Their Lives They're Losing.
But now, as tears subside,
'But Now, As Fears Subside
I find it all so amusing.
I Start My New Jew Accusing.
To think I did all that,
'To Think I Did All That.'
And may I say, not in a shy way-
In A Religious Jew Eat Jew Way.
(1 Kings 19:10,14; Isaiah 1:4ff; Matt. 23)
Oh no. Oh no, not me.
And Oye, Not Like A Goy
I did it my way.
"I Did It My Way."
For what is a man? What has he got?
"For What Is Man? What Has He Got?"
If not himself - Then he has naught.
If Not, In Like Form, He Makes God
To say the things he truly feels
"To Say The Things He Truly Feels"
And not the words of one who kneels.
From Wicked Hearts, Those That Don't Kneel.
The record shows I took the blows
The Record Shows I Held Their Robes
(Acts 7:56-60)
And did it my way.
'They Did It My Way'
Yes, it was my way."
They, Did It My Way.
(Acts 7)
"Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" 5 "Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked. "I
am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he replied. 6 "Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do."
(Acts 9)
"And now, the end is near,
"And Now The End Is Near."
(2 Tim. 4:6-8)
And so I face the final curtain.
Here's What I've Done, Since My Conversion
My friends, I'll say it clear;
My Friends, I Said It Clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain.
Free Of Charge No Segregation.
(If Like Us You Are)
(Convinced, Confident, Persuaded)
I've lived a life that's
full -
I've Preached The Word In Full
(Acts 20:27-30)
I've travelled each and every highway.
I've Travelled Each And Every Side Way
(2 Tim. 4)
And more, much more than this,
And What More Can I Say
I did it my way.
I've Lived The Right Way
(2 Tim. 4:6-8)
Regrets? I've had a few,
Regrets, Much More Than You
(1 Cor. 15:9,10; 1 Tim. 1:15,16)
But then again, too few to mention.
'But Then Again', Too Much To Mention
I did what I had to do
The Good I Would, I Did Not Do.
(Romans 7:19-21)
And saw it through without exemption.
But Saw It Through With God's Exemptions (Ephesians 2:8-10)
I planned each charted course -
"I Planned Each Charted Course"
Each careful step along the BYWAY,
Each Prayerful Step Along The Hard Ways.
(Matt. 7:13,14)
And more, much more than this,
And What, More Can I Say
I did it my way.
I've Lived The Right Way.
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,
Yes, There Were Times, While A New Jew
When I bit off more than I could chew,
When I Learned More Than I Could Do
But through it all, when there was doubt,
"But Through It All, When There Was Doubt."
I ate it up and spit it out.
I Ate It Up And Lived It Out.
I faced it all and I stood tall
My Name Is Paul And That Means 'Small' (Acts )
And did it my way.
Cause It Is God's Way.
I've loved, I've laughed and cried,
I've Loved, I've Laughed, And Died.
(Romans 6:1-14; Gal. 2:20)
I've had my fill - my share of losing.
I Took My Spills, My Share Of Bruisings
(Falling Sound Here:)
But now, as tears subside,
"But Now, As Tears Subside"
I find it all so amusing.
I Find It All To My Glad Choosing.
To think I did all that,
"To Think, I Did All That"
And may I say, not in a shy way-
And May I Say, In Him Not Me Way.
Oh no. Oh no, not me.
God No, God No, Not Me
I did it my way.
I Did It His Way.
For what is a man? What has he got?
"For What Is Man, What Has He Got"
If not himself - Then he has naught.
'If Not' His God-'Then He Has Naught'
To say the things he truly feels
Objective Facts, Faith, Then We Feel.
And not the words of one who kneels.
And With Wisdom Of Those That Kneel
The record shows I took the blows
"The Record Shows" We "Took The Blows"
(2 Cor. 11:23-33)
And did it my way.
And Took The Hard Way
(Matt. 7:13,14)
Yes, it was my way."
This Was The High Way
(2 Corinthians 11:1-15)
I Lived The Right Way
'Live Long And Proper'

"Would to
God ye could
bear with
me a
little in my
folly:
and indeed bear
with
me. 2
For I am jealous over you
with godly jealousy: for
I have espoused you to one
husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3 BUT I FEAR,
LEST BY ANY MEANS, AS THE SERPENT BEGUILED EVE THROUGH HIS SUBTILTY, SO YOUR MINDS SHOULD BE CORRUPTED from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4
FOR IF HE THAT COMETH PREACHETH ANOTHER JESUS, WHOM WE HAVE NOT PREACHED , or if ye receive another spirit,
which ye have not
received , or another
gospel, which ye have
not accepted , YE MIGHT WELL BEAR WITH HIM. 5 For
I suppose I was not a whit
behind the very chiefest
apostles. 6
But though I BE RUDE IN SPEECH, YET NOT IN KNOWLEDGE; but we have been throughly
made manifest among
you in all things.
7 Have
I committed an offence in abasing
myself that ye
might be exalted , because I HAVE PREACHED TO YOU
THE GOSPEL OF GOD FREELY? 8 I robbed other churches, taking wages of them,
to do you service. 9
And when I was present with
you, and wanted
, I was chargeable to no man:
for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied
: and in all
things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I
keep myself. 10 As the truth of Christ
is in me , no man shall stop me of
this boasting in
the regions of Achaia. 11 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth . 12 But
what I do , that
I will do , that I may cut off
occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory , they may be found
even as we.
13 FOR
SUCH ARE FALSE APOSTLES, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into
the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore
it is no great thing if
his ministers also
be transformed as the ministers
of righteousness; whose end
shall be according to their
works. 16 I say again,
Let no man
think me a
fool; if otherwise, yet
as a fool receive me, that I
may boast myself a little.
17 That which
I speak , I speak it not
after the Lord, but
as it were foolishly ,
in this confidence
of boasting. 18
Seeing that many glory
after the flesh, I will glory
also. 19
For ye suffer fools
gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise. 20 For ye suffer , if a man
bring you into bondage
, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt
himself , if a man smite
you on the face.
21 I speak
as concerning reproach, as
though we had been weak
. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold , (I
speak foolishly ,)
I am bold also. 22 Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they
the seed of Abraham? so am I.
23 Are they
ministers of Christ? (I speak
as a fool ) I am more;
in labours more abundant,
in stripes above measure,
in prisons more frequent,
in deaths oft.
24 Of
the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. 25 Thrice was I beaten with rods , once
was I stoned , thrice I suffered shipwreck , a night and a day I have been
in the deep; 26 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in
perils of robbers, in perils
by mine own countrymen, in perils
by the heathen, in perils
in the city, in perils
in the wilderness, in perils
in the sea, in perils
among false brethren; 27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often,
in hunger and
thirst, in fastings
often, in cold
and nakedness. 28 Beside those things that are
without, that which cometh upon
me daily ,
the care of all the churches.
29 Who
is weak , and I am
not weak ? who
is offended , and I
burn not? 30 If I must needs
glory , I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities. 31 The God
and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ,
which is blessed
for evermore, knoweth
that I lie not.
32 In
Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison
, desirous to apprehend me:
33 And
through a window in
a basket was I let down by
the wall, and escaped
his hands." (2 Cor. 11)
