SCRIPTURES OF TRUTH
I am Book* of truth's delight
bringing you to heaven’s flight
yond science-celestial height
by fervent faith’s clearest sight...
Acknowledge my sure way to fight hell-fright.
Full of true stories so great
exposing virtuous trait
I’m a record up to date
vital information mate...
Accept my good news' rate against hate fate.
I'm life’s manual, indeed best
Excellent for guidance zest
directions, surely safest
leading toward finest rest...
Apply my wisdom toward triumph crest.
I show your true nature
with my divine light’s feature
as Scriptures** for trust-venture
expressing the Lord's gesture...
Admit my counsel for righteous posture.
I'm the truth that sanctifies***
your heart and soul purifies
as my power rectifies
and sublimely edifies...
Adhere to my advice which clarifies.
With my truth's powerful deed
meeting your spiritual need
keep cleaving to me indeed
for service of loving creed...
Abide in me for fruitful, joyous breed.
*Deuteronomy 30:10 …Hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and…turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
**John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
**8John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
