Behind The Song: Pat Barrett Shares The Heart Behind His Single “The Way (New Horizon)”

This week’s featured song story comes to us from Pat Barrett. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his single “The Way (New Horizon).”

“The way, the truth and the life. It’s a simple sentence, but the way it plays out is not always that simple. Over the past couple of years for Meg & I have had a bunch of changes happen. We just had our 3rd kid recently so we’re in the middle of trusting again with more responsibility, pressure and the unknowns in all of it to believe the same thing with more on the line.It can be challenging at times in a real practical sense where your faith plays out. Singing songs that recognize the humanity of faith which is a lot of unknowns and there’s something about singing that in a true way without giving fear a platform. We all have our things but it’s like David said ‘I’ve set the Lord always before me.’” – Pat Barrett

“The Way (New Horizon)” Lyrics

Through every battle
Through every heartbreak
Through every circumstance
I believe that You are my fortress
Oh, You are my portion
And You are my hiding place, oh

I believe You are
The way, the truth, the life
I believe You are
The way, the truth, the life

I believe
Through every blessing
Through every promise
Through every breath I take
I believe that You are Provider
Oh, You are Protector
You are the One I love, oh

I believe You are
The way, the truth, the life
I believe You are
The way, the truth, the life
I believe You are
Oh, You are
Oh, You are

And it’s a new horizon and I’m set on You
And You meet me here today with mercies that are new
All my fears and doubts, they can all come too
Because they can’t stay long when I’m here with You
It’s a new horizon and I’m set on You
And You meet me here today with mercies that are new
All my fears and doubts
They can all come too
Because they can’t stay long when

I believe You are
The way, the truth, the life
I believe You are
The way, the truth, the life
I believe You are

It’s a new horizon and I’m set on You
And You meet me here today with mercies that are new
And all my fears and doubts, they can all come too
Because they can’t stay long when

I believe You are
The way, the truth, the life
And I believe You are
The way, the truth, the life
I believe You are
