Truth is clear - it's black-and-white,
A tested standard shining bright.
But darkness tries the truth to quell
And always works it's lies to sell.
Darkness masks truth's definition
To try to foil our recognition,
Calling sin by fancy title,
Diluting truths which still are vital.
Truth is truth - it will not change.
God's tenets we can't rearrange,
Mixing them with subtle lies
Offered under pleasant guise.
Giving evil brand new names
Doesn't sell it's promised claims.
Only truth will not be moved,
For through all time it has been proved.
"That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they live in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ."
Ephesians 4:14-15 KJV
