"I call heaven and earth against you this day.... For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?.... Out of heaven He made thee to hear His voice, that He might instruct thee" (Deuteronomy 4:26,32,36). "Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world... and in secret have I said nothing.... Every one that is of the truth heareth My voice. Pilate saith unto Him, What is truth?" (John 18:37,38).
Assemble the witnesses into the court:
Call heaven and earth; call history past.
Call every prophet with Scripture's report.
Let each one be heard, the first to the last.
God's truth has been seen in the light of creation,
His judgments have also been put on display.
At last Jesus came as the Lord of salvation,
And openly spoke to the world in His day.
Ask now if anything like this was done.
Ask now the elderly; ask now the youth:
Was ever there one like Jesus, God's Son,
With words and with deeds confirming His truth?
All those who are of the truth hear His voice.
Pilate may ask, "What is truth?" if he will.
Nevertheless it comes down to a choice,
And those who deny Him are culpable still.
