TRUTH AND HOPE
God nailed to a tree, crucified for me at Golgotha
Now this lukewarm world I see, I cry out maranatha
The only begotten of God, the Word made flesh to speak
Speaking only what the Father said, the bread of life to seek
It's the poor, those who mourn, the weak, that shall be filled
Hungry and thirsty for righteousness to be instilled
The salt of the earth persecuted, trodden under the foot of men to die
Jesus the light that burns bright in the house of my soul
Not doing away with the law, with my death His Spirit to control
The strength to pluck out my eye, so I may see
By His Spirit and His Word to be forever set free
Stand in the armor of His truth, righteousness across your chest
The most important thing, being in faith that we invest
Cap this with salvation, and the sword of His might in our hand
With all prayer and supplication, wherein the just shall stand
May our mouth boldly speak, the mystery of the world make known
Baptizing in the death, burial, and resurrection to them be shown
Not the spirit bound to sin, but cry Abba, Spirit of adoption begins
Now joint-heirs with Jesus, if we too suffer with Him, and stay within
Saved by a hope that these eyes can not see
Patiently we wait for that hope, and from evil we flee
All things, good or bad, work together for our good
Only if you love God, and all according to His purpose, is understood
If you want to follow Him, take up your cross every day
This is the baptism we show, and in Him we must stay
