Truth to be Found

Everyone around is sleeping,

Sleeping without wake or sound.

Only I, awake and thinking,

Write the words before you now.

There are thoughts that have their movement

Inside of this mind of mine.

Here is passion and a hunger

For the things I want to find. 

A Bible every jot and tittle

Giving knowledge from above.

Teaching truths of way eternal

Showing me the God of love.

The truth is hard and hard to swallow;

It won't change like I have to. 

Jesus Christ whom I must follow

Shows the pathway for the few. 

Paul writes that we, in fear and trembling,

Should work out our gift from God.

That gift is our own salvation;

God, forbid it be forgot. 

Yea, forgot or lightly taken,

That is unacceptable. 

Fix my eyes upon you, Jesus,

Not on faith but only You.
