The Lying Tongue in the Last Time


“Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue… I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war” (Psalm 120:2,7).  “The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom” (Proverbs 10:21).  “It is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time… Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist” (1 John 2:18-22).

The lying and deceitful tongue
Is now upon this world’s stage
And in the classrooms of our young
Where atheistic teachers rage. 

The battle plans of dark dominions
Are carried out with deadly force. 
The lying tongue will spew opinions
Which, like disease, will run their course. 

It isn’t an exaggeration
To say that we are in a war. 
We show the lost the Lord’s salvation,
Which Satan tells them to ignore.

We are commanded by our Lord
To answer with a clear defense.
His Word of truth shall be our sword,
Which we present with evidence.

The coming of our Lord draws near;
We’re living in a time that’s late. 
The battle lines should now be clear: 
We preach the peace our foes will hate.

We have engaged the enemy,
The spirit of the antichrist,
By showing truth that make us free
Because our Lord was sacrificed. 

The lying tongue shall not prevail,
Though for a time it spreads confusion. 
The antichrist may loudly rail,
As God allows his strong delusion.   

Yet God has shown us how it ends 
When lying lips forever cease. 
Our place for now is where He sends;
Our purpose is to preach His peace!

O Lord, we know our strength is small,
Yet You sustain us by Your grace
To fight the good fight where You call,
To keep the faith, and run our race.

Lord, thank You for Your Word sublime
Which takes away the liar’s mask
With reasoned answers in this time
Which show Your truth to all who ask.
