The Truth Working Out Within You

Living out our lives in this world
takes many turns and corners by far
a need there is to be your own man
to stand fast showing what you are

I personally seek to stand on truth
the truth of God's inerrant authoritative word
allowing it to soak into my whole being
sending error away to fly like a bird

Living as I do in this godless world
that has no time for God and His way
spreading what everyone thinks is right
nobody's wrong they say as light is day

But God looks for faithful honest men
to hold forth His truth never to stand down
no matter the consequences that come
I stand fast for God when the world will frown

So I seek to hold God's truth
fully as high as the birds that fly
then no matter what this world says
I'll believe in God fully till the day I die
