The Liberating Truth of Jesus #1853

The Liberating Truth of Jesus In the heart of God’s great love, Lies a truth from up above, A simple path to salvation's way, Through Christ our Lord, we find our stay. God is love, pure and kind, Unconditional, His love we find, Redemptive grace, from Heaven’s light, Guides us through the darkest night. Jesus, Son of God, so pure, Came to earth our sins to cure, Lived and died, then rose again, Eternal life for us to gain. Repentance calls, a turning plea, From sin’s bondage, we are free, True freedom in His grace we find, A peaceful heart, a renewed mind. The Holy Spirit, our guide and friend, Into all truth, His wisdom sends, Empowers us to live God's will, In quiet moments, He speaks still. The Kingdom of God, both now and near, Righteousness, peace, joy so clear, A present hope, a future bright, In Holy Spirit’s gentle light. Today’s lies the truth unveils, Relativism’s shifting tales, In Jesus, absolute we see, The truth that sets our spirits free. Materialism’s fleeting gain, Treasures rust, possessions wane, Jesus teaches life is more, In Heaven’s store, our hearts adore. Self-sufficiency, a prideful path, Jesus shows us what it hath, In God’s strength, true power lies, Through Him, our spirits rise. Moral lines the world may bend, God’s commandments never end, Jesus stands, the righteous guide, In His truth, we abide. Despair whispers life’s no good, Hopelessness misunderstood, Jesus offers hope and peace, In His love, our fears release. Then you will know the truth, so clear, In Christ, no need to fear, The truth will set you truly free, Embrace His love, eternally. This liberating truth we find, Gives freedom to our heart and mind, Through Jesus Christ, our Savior, Lord, We walk in truth, in one accord. -Steven G. Lee (June 21, 2024)
