Lyrics

Give me some truth to rest my head upon
For doubt comes on
It wears me like the waves
No worldly wisdom, wit or compromise
Or sweetened lies
Can lift me from my grave

Open your Word and let me hear your voice
I won’t presume
To know what you will say
I come before you Jesus as a child
Now lift me up
Bring peace to me I pray

The gate is narrow and the path is hard
Without you Lord
I shall not last the way
So give me some truth to rest my head upon
Open my eyes
To brightness like the day

Lord give me truth to follow
Follow and understand
The will of God my Father
Not the ways of man
Lord give me truth to follow
Follow and understand
The grace of Christ my saviour
Not the ways of man

Lord give me truth to follow
Follow and understand
The will of God my father
Not the ways of man
Lord give me truth to follow
Follow and understand
The grace of Christ my saviour
Not the ways of man

Your love is true
Through ages past
And ages yet untold
Your faithfulness
Of greater worth
Than all the earth can hold

Devotional

We don’t find peace until we know who to trust. Jesus understands this, and he calls people to Himself. He tells the truth, and does what He says He will. Others may let us down, but He is worthy of our trust. Consider the boldness of the promises Jesus made, and the wonderful way in which He delivered on those promises. Think of Jairus’ daughter, Lazarus, the centurion’s servant, blind Bartimaeus… Consider that he said he would lay down his life and then take it up again after 3 days, and did just that. Jesus declares that He himself is the way, the truth and the life. He says that no-one comes to the Father except through Him. Why would we trust anyone who tells us differently?
