Truth
The glow of dawn awakes me with the rising morning light
Another day has broken as it drives away the night
And all who would be faithful to the whisper of God's voice
Have once again before them life to live with guided choice
But choice is not surrender of the soul at His demand
As some would try to tell you from the point on which they stand
But is the motivation to do what's desired of you
Because you see the beauty in what God would have you do
The beauty that's reflective of how Jesus lived before
When nothing could entice His mind no thing could please Him more
Than time spent with His Father at the break of day in prayer
Communing One together in the love that they did share
The love that looked beyond them to the purpose Jesus came
To live the Truth not spoken by the ones who spoke His name
But live it as was written by the prophets long ago
The way God had intended that His faithful ones should know
For Truth has many faces many faces yes indeed
That meets us where we are with love and wants to meet our need
To know we've still a rest beyond the trials now we face
If we by faith accept His Truth that saves us by His grace
And then once we've accepted by our faith what He has done
That pure and perfect cleansing of our sins through Christ the Son
Truth teaches us the lessons of the Law that He did give
To fit us for the Kingdom where He's wanting us to live
That's also taught in lessons from the light that's in God's Word
When Jesus taught in parables His lessons that were heard
By those who chose to listen chose to write those lessons down
For which God made arrangement in the Bible could be found
And then Truth has one more face as it moves and lives today
When shared by those who listen to God's Spirit as they pray
It molds the soul of each one who will let His Spirit in
To hate the very essence of those self-indulgent sins
That caused our Lord to suffer on that tree of Sacrifice
That tree whereon the Lamb of God did pay the greatest
Price Because Truth also taught us when it suffered on that tree
Love is that Truth that lights the Way to Life for you and me
John 14:1-6; Romans 5:1-10
