God is Love, that is fact,

the precision of His design…
 
God is Truth, Love,
God in three persons,
creating, saving, sustaining,
Light to heal the world…
 
One Truth, forever,
abiding in creation,
the indwelling nature,
the clarion call of God…
 
God is Truth, Love,
Our strong foundation,
Walking with us, journeying,
With us on the road…

A costly promise

a vow to keep;

something quiet dear

a sacrifice complete

Killing His own

His only child;

a promise of God

a sacrifice worthy
