Question Of Denial

Although truth is self evident,
it is still our choice to see,
regardless of the way I feel,
there is still reality.

When the crowd has chosen one way
and decided to deny
the absolutes of scripture,
then they’re following a lie.

Truth is hard it cannot yield
to any man’s demand,
where lies will take the shape you want,
just like shifting sand.

Since we prefer to shape our world
with our own two hands,
we end up living in a lie,
castles made of sand.

But storms in life are certain
and there is the judgment day,
denial becomes difficult
when your world has washed away.

The truth is God’s a fortress
His faithfulness a shield,
His truth won’t bend, but will defend
those who to it yield.
