Sometimes when the world

Closes in like the night,

And the Truth of God’s Word

Seems way out of sight, 1

 

When the pressures are high

And you’re tired of the fight,

Take a time out for Truth

And rest in the Light.2

 

Your feelings scream out,

Your mind fills with doubt,

The lie of the moment

Turns life inside out.3

 

The Truth is still there,

The Truth that sets free.

The Spirit is calling

“Just rest now in Me”.4

 

Take a time out for Truth,

And you’ll have a view

Of the presence of Jesus

Still dwelling in you.5

 

In a time out for Truth

We focus on Jesus.

Then we see ourselves

The same as He see us.6

 

We’re His children-completed.

There’s nothing left out.

With Him we are seated

In Heaven no doubt.7

 

He said it clearly,

As plain as can be:

“I am in you

and you are in Me.”8

 

Take a time out for Truth.

The Truth sets you free.

In the midst of the battle

God’s victory you’ll see.9

 

Take a time out for Truth,

Anytime, any place.

When you’re frizzled and frazzled

From the pace of the race.10

 

In a time out for Truth

It’s JESUS you’ll see.

He IS THE TRUTH.

THE TRUTH sets you free.11
