Barrett shared the inspiration behind the song,saying "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.’" [6]

[9] Joshua Andre of 365 Days of Inspiring Media gave a positive opinion of the song,saying "Debut radio single "The Way (New Horizons)",though lyrically a bit cliché,is enjoyable nonetheless,as this energetic guitar led mid-tempo pop melody ardently relays to us that Jesus is the way,the truth and the life,that Jesus Christ has bought our freedom,and that we can live in that promise because of everything He's done." [10] Reviewing for Eden.co.uk,Aaron Lewendon said of the song:"Every line is a declaration. Simple,short,true. Belief in God doesn’t need grand,complicated statements. It requires an honest heart for God. This is how so much of Pat Barrett’s music is able to connect so readily with people. Through honest simplicity." [11]
