Center of our Certainty

"That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee. Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, that I might make thee know the CERTAINTY of the words of truth, that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?" (Proverbs 22:19-21). "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye continue in My word, than are ye my disciples indeed, and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:31,32).

The center of our certainty
Is surely in God's Word,
As we continue faithfully
Applying what we've heard.

If God had not communicated,
How could we ever give
The reason that we were created
And purpose that we live?

The multitudes in Noah's day
Were wrong about his ark.
Until they all were swept away,
They all were in the dark.

But God was striving then with men
And gave to them His warning.
Yet even now, as it was then,
His truth is met with scorning.

The Lord has written words of truth
With counsels never flawed,
To teach us and to train our youth
To put their trust in God.

O Lord, Your truth has made us free,
As now we look toward
The center of our certainty
In Jesus Christ our Lord.
