An Answer

"My son, be wise, and make My heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth Me" (Proverbs 27:11). "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear" (1 Peter 3:15).

There is an answer we should give
By things we wisely say
And also by the way we live
With wisdom everyday.

There is an answer that we know
Has ample evidence,
That we with readiness may show
Provides a sure defense.

There is an answer for each season
For every honest man.
For God has said, "Come, let us reason",
And He will show His plan.

There is an Answer that sufficed;
No other one could save:
The Son of God, our Lord and Christ,
The Lord of heaven gave!

The prophecies that He fulfilled,
His death and resurrection,
All honest opposition stilled,
Accomplished with perfection.

Thus may the Answer of our Savior
In our life sanctified,
In all our words and our behavior
Be wisely testified.
