The Truth in God's Word
From every angle in the world temptation comes today
Temptations that we may not seek to drive us from the Way
From living and abiding in the Spirit of the Lord
The Spirit Jesus promised that we live in one accord
One people in one body that we call His last day church
In whom by grace He's trusted all the truth for which men search
The Truth that needs an open mind to help them clearly see
Those truths that will be studied throughout all eternity
As clearly in His scriptures if we focus there in prayer
Not searching for some premise that we hope is proven there
But searching with an open heart to see what all this means
This Book of inspiration where God's Spirit can be seen
This living breathing Oracle fresh from the Father's throne
That shares with us the miracle of God and God alone
That one day reads to meet a need we struggle to receive
And then the next the same text helps us by His grace perceive
Some truth we had not pondered but flows equally as well
With all the other scriptures in the lessons that they tell
To make and mold and fashion us to be the more like Him
Who truly is embodied as the Truth in all of them
The Truth that is so needed for each moment of today
That is our only safeguard as we study Him and pray
That we might be just like Him in all things we say and do
To have His Spirit lead us in the trials we go through
Those trials that will tempt us to forget the way He's led
His people to each victory the way He's always said
If they would be abandoned to the tenets of His Word
Not wasting their existence on the other things they've heard
That have no base in scripture just the figment of some mind
That chose to form a teaching that would keep the people blind
To Truth that is impending with Christ's coming in the clouds
To pluck the few who listened to His voice and not the crowd's
And kept the Truth He gave them though sore tempted to believe
What men had tried to teach them were conditions to receive
The blessing they knew not of nor would ever chance to see
Because they would not follow what God shared in purity
James 1:1-10; Galatians 6:1-9
