TRUTH BE TOLD

Cannot smile at the lies they tell our children
Yet expect them to grow up and be upright and honest
Clapping for the actors and superficial behaviour
Encouraging them to believe in something but not the Saviour
Painting for them make believe pictures not to offend
Made up stories, singalong, pretend

Call it traditions, pass them on
If it feels good it can't be wrong
Use your imagination, be all you can
The future is in your hands
No boundaries, no fear, no thanks
Entertainment, commercials, and games

The people cast off restraint collecting their toys
For a lack of knowledge they are destroyed
Measuring details of their lives by the comprehensive standard
Unable to hear the truth, unwilling to obey the commandments
Discovering the possibilities, falling into debt
Not leaving home without it, they forget

Life is not what you make it
No matter how hard you try
Only one is good and that is God
No one else, nothing else satisfies
Much of this you already know
Truth be told...

THE KINGDOM

Imagine what it would be like
If we took God's word to heart
We would not wait another minute
To take hold of His promise and be a part
Of the healing and restoration
Forgiveness and reconciliation...

We would stop waiting for the other person
To move, make a call, or write a letter
We would humble ourselves and acknowledge
Where we have fallen short and could have done better
We might would consider cutting them a little slack
Understanding that as we give so it will be given back

Instead of allowing outward appearance to be the measuring line
Dig a little deeper to find the real treasure inside
And cherish what is expressed from within
A heart and life that is made in the image of Him
Who created all for His glory
And eternal pleasure

DOUBTLESS

Throw down lay low in quiet watch
The battle continues on around the clock
Walk watch wait for the silent cold clearing
Your own heartbeat and breath is all you are hearing
Get up now, pick up your weapons, make a move
Tomorrow will be here soon...

No time to compromise
No excuse to withhold
Keep moving forward
Be humble, Be bold.

Bend your knees pick up your feet
March on to meet the promise
Let it go, there is hope
So let the light shine on it...

No time to waste
No excuse to delay
Keep moving forward
Be humble, be bold.
