Truth Be Told

orchidee



Tune: Wolvercote

('O Jesus I have promised')

********

You are the Life, the Truth, the Way

And still are so today

Not man-made fables or fancies

But we do trust, agrees

Our heart and mind in your sure word

The Scriptures we have heard

And onward we shall go and still

Let none from us them steal

 

Spirit of truth, you lead us to

Confess Christ ever true

And bring to mind whate'er He said

By you we still are fed

For they be words, they spiritual

And sure do feed us all

Who accept you as Lord, Saviour

You do confirm us sure

 

You shall not fail, nor leave us be

To search confusedly

But you will show us your path plain

Or bring to light again

Your truths, where we may be unsure

Yet your word faithful, pure

It shall uphold and firm  us keep

Us in your fold, your sheep

          The word has been there for centuries, in one form or another, yet the word is not enough....

          What good is knowledge, if actions don't follow.....

            Thanks Suresh. Ahh yes, I looked at that in (ongoing) studies in James (New Testament). He says the same. All talk - or all knowledge - and no doing?

              Yes for human speech, no-doubt, yet even here there is much progress to contemplate that does not disappoint. Indeed it is the Word (Logos) that originally acted, the Word that continuously acts, the Word which holds our very existence from returning to nothingness. Why? Love. Great Love. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us...

                Thanks Neville. I'm thinking here of truth as opposed to false religions.

                Nice end rhymes and meter Orchidee - true to form and true to topic my friend: the truth will set you free.

                  Thanks Gary. Unfortunately, one truth is - Me singing will get no better. Ah well, that can't be helped! heehee.
