Truth* upholds my being and becoming
anchored upon God Almighty, the Source of truth
instructing me to walk on paths of righteousness with love
directing my heart toward trusting His divine precepts against doubt…
With sublime truth, my faith lives
buttressed by inspired precious Scriptures that constantly quicken my soul
reviving my spirit to rejoice in His bestowed eternal salvation
securing me throughout eternity, assuring triumph midst pardon of sins…
Tenaciously standing for truth instilled in my belief
I continue to share the Gospel
propelled by the redemptive transformative power of the Lord
with earnest prayer and blissed zeal for its fruitful propagation…
Such is my fervent desire with gratitude
since my all is nothing without God’s truth.

In our fight for truth* and right
Midst mocking injustice-sight
We praise God, the Source of light
Who makes bright our hopeful plight.
Toward judgment's standard height
We cling to what truths do cite
Trusting proofs to bring delight
Settling gray from back and white.
Truth surely reigns midst lies' blight
Ready to smite fake news flight
As countries uphold laws' might
Guarding deceits' grievous bite.
*Romans 2:2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth…

It is quite important that each man
leads a righteous way of living
for him to receive the grace
from the Almighty God.
It's right for parents
to closely see
or manage
all their
kids.
