You Are Truth, Lord and You Alone

You are Truth, Lord and You Alone by Effie Darlene Barba When I feel so lost and so alone I turn and look upon Your throne You, who for my sins did die To rise again and justify A wretched heart whose selfish pride Could never set my Self aside Until I saw a glimpse of you, Your gaze That set my soul ablaze A love burst forth, one greater still Compels me bow beneath Your will And when I feel so sad, so down I then must look upon Your crown A crown of thorns once pierced Your brow Exchanged for Glory that somehow Did then bestow on me Your Grace So as I gaze upon Your face Transformed this wretched heart of mine Reflects Your righteous Heart Divine As step by step I bow before The one who doth my life restore Yet, when I stop to see this world The sorrow, pain; it’s evil hurled Upon the foolish, blind, and lost I then can see the depth, the cost The weight of sin You chose to bare For selfish ones who do not care With hate-filled looks, their brazen stare Whose hardened hearts do then declare Themselves as kings yet all the while Destroying all with Hate and guile They think themselves so righteous wise While cloaked with lies their one disguise Oh, how I hate to see them Lord Despising You in one accord Yet, there I see your arms stretched wide To bid them come to You, abide To come repentant, sinner come And bow before Your throne succumb Unto Your Grace, Your love profound While singing praise, Salvation’s Sound So broken, sad my desperate heart Desires to leave this world, depart To sit before Your precious throne And bask within Your love alone Broken, scarred, no strength, no might To face the battles, I MUST fight Yet then I hear Your gentle voice Bid me to stay and make the choice To stand once more, Your truth my shield As to they will I fully yield In You I have the strength, the might In darkness, shine Your brilliant light So, hold me tight within Your hand That I might do Your will as planned Your love, your joy will fill each day You’ll give my lips the words to say So that the broken, lost alone May then repent, make You their own Finding You to be their greatest treasure A Perfect love beyond all measure I bid the broken, lost, and sad Come look upon Your Cross. Be glad! For You did die to pay their way And rose again on the third day If only they would now believe The gospel truth and there receive You as their Lord and let You in You’ll break the binding chains of sin Wrapped in Your Righteousness alone They’ll stand before God’s mighty throne Beloved, Redeemed, a child of God With Victory now my feet are shod Spreading the truth so far and wide Knowing You’re always by my side So, boldly now, no more to fear Knowing Your love is oh so near Empowered with Your Joy and Peace I march on Lord and must not cease Until that day You call me home Upon this broken world I’ll roam You are truth and You alone So, take this heart that once was stone Reveal Your will and make it known That through my life Your light is shown Into the darkest, dreary night That all might see Your strength and might And let me die to selfish pride That in Your Will I do abide A beacon of Your love Divine I am the Branch, You are the Vine You Are Truth, Lord and You Alone Poem Written, Copyrighted, and Published by Effie Darlene Barba in Soaring Above the Storms, Vol II Transformed to Song Using Suno.com pro by Effie Darlene Barba and Created into Video using Wondershare Filmora 3 videos from Pexel.com Remaining photos by Effie Darlene Barba with exception of Praying man generated by Wondershare Filmora at my request.
