Truth About God
So many ways we think of God that simply are not true
Some see a super Daddy that loves everything we do
While others see a cruel King Who rules His Kingdom well
Like some big heartless potentate Who has a heart from Hell
And then there are the many times He's blamed for things we do
And cursed as though He was the one who failed to bring us through
A tempting spot we found ourselves and lingered for a while
Allowing Satan ample time to subtly defile
The way we ought to think of God our Maker and our King
Who out of love gave all He had to give us everything
Pertaining to eternal life and joy that has no end
When we abandon selfish thoughts and know Him as our Friend
Who's always there to listen always there right by our side
When faced with our perplexity to be our faithful Guide
And also our Protector when the winds of evil blow
That when at last Christ comes again His presence we will know
As that place we have been before when all the world was wrong
When people compromised the Truth to simply get along
And let the devil lead them in the evil path they chose
Until no longer sensitive their own probation closed
Without them having sought God's face and known His loving arms
That held them in His warm embrace against the devil's charms
And gave them light in darkness that by faith their eyes could see
The Way the Truth the Life the Love He has for you and me
The Way of His commandments that preserve His will in men
That guide us through the victories to overcome all sin
The Truth that God alone is He Who's formed us most like Him
And will restore His image once again in all of them
Who know Him as the Source of Life from start to never end
Who'd rather die than fail the One on Whom they now depend
Whose Love is so abundant all there is cannot contain
The whole of Who He is to us who sing that long refrain
Of glory alleluias when Christ comes to earth again
When in His glorious presence we'll rejoice with Him as Friend
Who saw us through the darkest nights and never let us down
To make us one with Him again at last on holy ground
John 14:1-21
