The Story of Truth

The truth heals your soul

and reveals all lies.

Truth is like gold

once the story is told.

Words are precious and pure,

I am trying to embrace them

 for the truth is the cure.

So, here’s how the story goes,

Truth stared me in my face

but I denied what I saw -

I accepted nothing but lies.

Lies hit my head

and almost knocked me to my knees.

But I couldn’t comprehend

what was being said, …

I could have been dead.

Oh Lord,

The truth I discarded

because my heart

didn’t want to be broken.

The truth spoke

but my ears

couldn’t hear.

Lord, please let my hearing be clear.

Truth rescue me!

You are the key,

Please set me free.

Now truth lives within me

for when I speak,

I taste its sweetness on my lips.

Hearing the truth may cause a moment’s pain,

But lies hurt and bitterness remains.

I was black, purple and blue

by the time you were through.

I was abused and bruised

I was swollen from head to toe.

Yet, I choose lies over truth.

I don’t want to hurt,

 Truth like rain

washes away grime and dirt.

Lord, help me to hear…

let the truth ring

sweet melodies in my ears.

Truth will bring you through

for you can count on truth.

So devil,

I am going to dry my eyes,

and close my ears;

you can’t tell me a thing!

No more lies!
