The Truth and the Lie

A million lies will not drown your Truth,
An ocean of derision cannot wash over a drop of your approval.
My Lord, I shall fix my gaze upon you,
I shall watch your eyes and only your eyes.
Let the dogs of hell bark with all the fury of the raging pit,
Let the voice of hatred spew forth its venom,
Let the jealous heart poison my joy,
Let the Devil dance with all his might,
Let the darkness rob the last glimmer of light,
But I shall wait for you, and hold on to your promise.
Heaven and earth may pass,
But you will come, and declare the Truth.
In it I shall reign forever and ever.

- Samuel Godfrey George
