The Bible's bitter truth
The bible's bitter truth
Can be a hard pill to swallow for many.
How often is bitter medication resisted,
Yet so highly praised for its sweet cure.
It is better that a preacher get on our toes,
Than to be tickling our ears with excitement.
It may appear that we are being attacked personally,
but in reality, you are being helped
It is the sin that is within us
That is being attacked for real.
We are all in need of someone
Who cares enough for our soul,
To speak the truth to us, bitter it may be
In the name of the Lord with no dilution
The best friend to our soul is the preacher or teacher
Who will take the risk of becoming our enemy,
By telling us the truth of God.
Let us find the courage to hear the truth,
And the willingness to change to it;
For the bible's bitter truth
Is sweet reward to our soul.
TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY
