Truth Is A Rocky Road

Truth is a rocky road –

We skin our knees

To save our soul.

We are all alone ~

Like a blade of grass

Shivers in the cold.

Each arrow quivers

As it takes aim,

To make a point

Filled with blame.

Without a guide,

We lose our way.

He holds the light;

We can only pray –

To avoid the pit

To escape the snare,

We cross our part.

He will till the seed

Draw out the sap

And claim our heart.

Lies are a trap

Unless we find,

Truth’s sure embrace.

For the love of God

Is filled with grace.
