IF ALL TRUTH WAS NOT

If roses were blue

And the sky was pink,

If the Word we read,

If every truth we knew,

Was all a lie,

And all we had to do,

Was live so we’d die,

Would you still run n’ hide,

From the truth that is?

If your name was Adam or Eve,

And your sisters and brothers not,

If you could eat all that’s rot,

And drink all that’s for you not,

If you asked not,

For there was no one to ask for,

Would you still speak for,

And would you still speak to,

The maker of Heaven n’ Earth?

If everything that was wasn’t,

And everything you said,

Which was “half truth”,

Was not half as true,

Would you still stick to the truth,

Speak nothing but the truth,

Even if all truth was not?
