THE ROCK OF TRUTH

Upon the mighty rock of truth

Shall every life be tried

Stripped of every pretense

Naked, the wicked seek to hide

One cannot approach this bar

And retain the intent to deceive

Truth’s light dispels such hope

Causing anguish one needs to relieve

But anguish may serve a purpose 

If it brings one to bended knee

If it breaks apart the hardened heart

And allows one to clearly see

If such a moment of clarity

Awaits each anxious soul

Why should change be delayed

Why wait to become pure and whole

One is eager to assist in such a task

To heal where harm resides

Accept now His offer to atone

Believe His healing presides

Embrace fully His sacred gift

To undo the woeful life

Find certain strength in Christ

To overcome evil’s strife

Then as your time comes

To face the bar of God

Your nakedness will be covered

By robes of goodness unflawed

Now approach the judgment bar

Cleansed from the stain of sin

Washed clean by His holy blood

And with joy be welcomed in
