Because Of The Lies, The Truth Has Been Blurred
I awoke from my sleep in the darkness of night
Where shadows obscured a flickering light
I wondered, Dear Father, how can it be
Darkness engulfing my beloved country
I heard the lies swirling inside my head
Which forced me to leave my comfortable bed
I fell to my knees and pleaded to find
God’s truth and His spirit filling my mind
For Jesus, my Righteous and Sovereign King
Is the only one who can make my heart sing
The voices of many were not being heard
Because of the lies, the truth has been blurred
With joy and delight, so many had gone
For the love of this country they had been drawn
With voices of patriots, proud there to be
Wanting the world finally to see
All that the media hid there from our sight
The evil unveiled, truth brought into light
So, how was it that such chaos ensued
For certainly then, the truth would be skewed
Each Patriot knew this was not the way
To have voices heard on this fate-filled day
What were the forces who bid them go in
Knowing this was not how to win?
So, millions of voices never were heard
Because of the lies the truth has been blurred
Yet, still there it is, the hypocrisy
Where wrong is called right, while right cannot be
Where justice is skewed, where evil does win
Oh, where are you Lord, our cry from within
And yet, my Dear Father, I know of Your love
You rule over all from Your throne above
I know there are times, you allow what you hate
To accomplish Your plan with patience you wait
So, even when I do not understand
I will trust in the One who has everything planned
You’ve seen every tear and heard all the cries
While Your Gospel truth is distorted with lies
So many voices of babies never were heard
Because of the lies the truth has been blurred
Then I watched as a man with sadness depart
While knowing in truth, he had done his part
To stand for the truth to give voice to all
The forgotten, the lost and then most of all
To restore all the freedoms that had been lost
He did it all at such personal cost
Yet, Lord I do plead that you help him to see
That this is the plan, that really must be
Though it may appear that evil does win
You are revealing the truth of our evil and sin
So we may repent and bow before You
As the ending of time comes into view
Though so many voices are never heard
Because of the lies the truth has been blurred
This human race You made us to be
Moral and rational with choice to see
Able to love or even say no
Choosing our own selfish ego
Or thinking ourselves as higher still
Than even God, ignoring His will
Denying Him who gave us life
Choosing instead our evil and strife
While denying His love and His Precious grace
And even at times we have spit in His face
Closing our minds, God’s word is not heard
Because of the lies the truth has been blurred
So help me dear Lord, your truth to see
Your love, Your Grace, and Your victory
Open my heart to then understand
How all of this, when held in Your hand
Will shine forth Your Glory, Your precious Grace
That even more people will seek Your face
So, with patience Dear Father help me to wait
My destiny knowing You are my fate
And return to my bed with heart full of peace
All of the fears and sorrows now cease
Filled with Your Joy, Your Word I have heard
No more the lies, Your Truth never blurred
Yet, soon comes the day, when all this is done
Heaven’s door will swing wide, presenting Your SON
He is coming again bringing justice to all
The rich and the poor, the big and the small
All that we’ve seen of evil this year
Should cause us to gaze long into a mirror
Where there we might see our sin and our hate
Before we do reach our final fate
Looking deep in our heart, let us repent of our sin
Then look to the cross for cleansing within
Where there on that cross Your son bled and died
That sinners like I might be justified
There at the cross our voices are heard
Never again by the lies will Your Truth be blurred.
