Absolute Truth - John 18: 36-38
Today's world rejects absolute truth
everything's relative to one's thoughts
nobody wants truth as God declared
rather pleasing themselves to fit their slot
In Jesus trial before Pilate himself
Pilate's feet planted firmly in mid-air
rejecting God's truth out of hand
dismissing divine scripture without a care
Our feet needs planted solid on God's truth
believing and holding firmly to it four square
for Jesus came to testify of this fact
even when to absolutely hold it is so rare
Truth is not the world's it's divine
it's what God says it truly is
truth is never plural always singular
it's immutably unchangeable never to miss
Truth is powerful abiding forever
always right so never to be wrong
Jesus declared all who are of the truth
listens to His voice so very strong
God's truth is not heard audibly
it's so much louder than that
we reject it at our peril
God is truth absolute that's a fact!
(Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.” Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose, I was born and for this purpose, I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.” Pilate said to him, “What is truth?”)
