Just For the Truth

I stand in awe of the Truth
I live for it and not for a feat
It keeps me and helps me stay put
I loathe lies just to be fit.

Everyday our lives speak
Unknown to us but something is declared,
Whether gracefully as meek
Or derogatorily as tares, I fear.

Yet its concern is on our message
Do we proclaim His grace,
Propagate His word in this age,
Or just grope around lost in the maze?

So I stand bold to shout it out loud
We can do nothing against the Truth
He stays true and is revealed like the cloud
Coming to us in droplets of rain or dew

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
