Find the Truth
How do you know?
What you know
What you think,
What should be
What could you change?
To know the truth
The lies you’ve heard through mouths of youth
of pastors, teachers, mothers, and friends,
Thought they were helping,
not knowing their words were on thin threads,
Not holding truth,
but close enough to see
That freedom was left,
without company,
Cause you thought all you’ve heard,
Was all true and fact,
Cause how could they be wrong or lie behind your back,
But they didn’t know just like you,
And passed on a story they thought was true,
And you hold it now, and you have to choose,
Just cause they told you is it really the truth?
So open and look, learn for yourself,
Cause if those you are listening to,
And those who are “taught”
Are teaching you wrong…how can you tell whether or not?
So many things that you see are marked wrong,
And thinking back now you have been so miss taught
Renewing your mind to the truth of YOU
Is harder to do knowing I’m leaving the “truth”
And the friends that taught me, what I thought was it all,
I could quote pastors and sermons, all that I saw
I thought I could pray like the best man at church,
Saying dear lord, and help us on the search,,
For the healing, the money, and need and the want,
And now I can see you left us with all of that…
Even the bookThe Sound of Reality
How can you see, if its really to be
Or if its your mind telling you to get up to speed,
Wedding bells, dresses, smiles and rings,
Girls telling stories of men on one knee,
It sounds so romantic and perfect at that,
I can almost picture me someday in fact.
But I don’t want to rush, when I have so much time,
To think of others and what I’d have to leave behind,
Its not just the tuxes, flowers and songs,
It’s a lifetime with someone, I better not get it wrong,
And what if I do confuse the truth,
With someone who’s lying and I never knew.
Or what if I think oh "Of course hes for me",
I get butterflies, gifts, and feelings far deep.
He loves the good Lord, and reads His big book,
We both have a vision, and he gives me the “look”
And of course hes nice and good to his mom,
Doesn’t complain and is ok being wrong,
But he has a few things that make me worry,
like he hates being late, or even in a hurry.
He keeps his stuff neat, titty and clean,
And I leave a mess just trying to breathe.
and what if hes lazy or just doesn’t care,
and I marry him thinking hes sure a dear!
He’ll help me clean, and fold all the clothes,
And then the day comes when im doing all the loads.
So I better be careful and listen so close,
To the word of the Lord, and make the most
Of every moment and every day,
Cause who knows where I will be come May
