T'is True

T'IS TRUE THAT ONCE GOD SAID TO ME
I'LL LIFT YOU UP ,JUST WAIT AND SEE.

AND LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU SON
BUT ENTER IN THE WORK I'VE DONE.

FOR I HAVE GIVEN YOU MY REST
AND YOU BELIEVED AND PASSED THE TEST.

SO FROM YOUR FAITH DO NOT DEPART
WITH UNBELIEF AND HARDENED HEART.

BUT HOLD STEADFAST UNTO THE END
YOUR FAITH WITH WHICH YOU'VE ENTERED IN.

FOR ON THIS THRONE OF GRACE I SIT
WITH CONFIDENCE DRAW NEAR TO IT.

RECEIVING MERCY,FINDING GRACE
LOOK UP! LOOK UP! BEHOLD MY FACE.

AND ON THAT DAY WHEN I RETURN
YOU'LL BE WITH ME AND WILL NOT BURN.

SO IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE TODAY
HARDEN NOT YOUR HEART AND TURN AWAY.

FOR GOD WILL SURELY RECOMPENSE
SO ENTER NOW WITH CONFIDENCE.

COME BOLDLY TO HIS THRONE OF GRACE
LOOK UP! LOOK UP! BEHOLD HIS FACE.

THAN YOU WILL ALSO UNDERSTAND
HIS KINGDOM COME IS CLOSE AT HAND.
