Words of Truth

There is a real special attraction
about truthful words that fully convey
a powerful force draws one close
being encaptured so you must there stay

Lies are a real waste indeed
not having the same impact at all
they've got little effectiveness to work
for it's ignored when you call

The word truth has a special ring
it draws you in, holds you close
proving to you its sacred rightness
giving a love that instantly shows

A great ambition to have in life
to tell the truth every single time
achieve this and you'll change things
in this world forever over crime

Too many in our day love to lie
not realizing God hears all they say
so keep on the right side of truth
especially God's truth forever and a day

(This is written about my favorite subject which in my case is truth in all its various forms.)
