Trust the Truth


“O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in Thee” (Psalm 84:12).  “I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths” (Proverbs 4:11).  “Jesus answered… for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth My voice.  Pilate saith unto Him, What is truth?” (John 18:37,38). 

The Lord has not abandoned us
To search for truth upon our own. 
His evidence is marvelous
Which He abundantly makes known!

The Lord has taught us in His way
And rightly led us in His path. 
He sought us when we went astray
And boldly rescued us from wrath. 

He stood before the Roman court
When Pilate asked Him to reply
To “What is truth?” then cut Him short,
Exchanging truth for Satan’s lie. 

Our Savior proved that He was true
Fulfilling every prophecy
Which no one else could ever do,
Declaring truth that makes us free. 

Now everyone who hears His voice
Responds by calling on His name,
Amazed at grace that gives the choice
To thus be saved from sin and shame!

How rightly, Lord, in You we trust! 
The other options that we trace
Are world views that turn to dust
And thus forsake Your saving grace!

Receive our thanks and praise, O Lord,
That we may trust the truth we find
In all Your evidence explored
That thrills our heart, our soul, and mind.
