What is Truth
Whispers echo in the void, where shadows meet the light,
A question lingers in the air, seeking to take flight.
Standing in soldiers' way, shadows fall across the floor,
A leader with earthly power, a quiet King before the door.
The crowd shouting loud, demanding what is easy,
Between bottle and truth, a quiet voice gets hard to see.
Romans fear lost control, he turns away to save his name,
Like an addict in the dark, choosing habit over shame.
He asked the world, "What is truth?", turned his back and walked away,
Choosing the easy fix to live to fight another day.
But truth don’t shout to win the crowd—it stands, it bleeds, it holds the line.
Surrender isn't losing ground, it’s letting go of what is mine.
The cross is standing in the noise, a compass through the deepest night,
Trade easy for grace, and step out of the dark to light.
The craving yells a thousand lies, the crowd demands a compromise,
To keep ego safe, to hide the tears behind our eyes.
We manage all the pain, to survive on our own strength,
While mercy awaits with open and wide arms,
Peter warmed his trembling hands beside a cold and charcoal fire,
Denying what he knew was real to satisfy the fear’s desire.
He asked the world, "What is truth?", turned his back and walked away,
Choosing the easy fix to live to fight another day.
But truth don’t shout to win the crowd—it stands, it bleeds, it holds the line.
Surrender isn't losing ground, it’s letting go of what is mine.
The cross is standing in the noise, a compass through the deepest night,
Trade easy for grace, and step out of the dark to light.
Truth is not a speech, truth is not a trial to win,
Truth is drops every shield and lets Heaven enter in.
Our Lord didn't fight the spears, He didn't bargain for His release,
He bowed His head and gave His life to give the broken vessel peace.
He asked the world, "What is truth?", turned his back and walked away,
Choosing the easy fix to live to fight another day.
But truth don’t shout to win the crowd—it stands, it bleeds, it holds the line.
Surrender isn't losing ground, it’s letting go of what is mine.
The cross is standing in the noise, a compass through the deepest night,
Trade easy for grace, and step out of the dark to light.
The cross stands tall...
Truth is surrender...
And grace covers it all.
