Should we tell the truth or speak a lie
If we thought it might save the one sentenced to die?

Sometimes the truth is hard to bare
Especially for those who don't want to hear.
They think for your testimony a lie would save
One who might be sentenced to go to the grave.

Sometimes it is difficult to make that stand
To tell the truth, no matter what's at hand.
It may make others angry and mad
They think in this case a lie isn't bad.

Sometimes yu may feel as if your alone
When you go to the aid of this one, far from home.
But the truth my dear friend, don't stay covered for long
If you speak it and live it, it helps you be strong.

So take a stand, do what is right
Don't go down without a fight.
Speak the truth come what may
You'll be glad you did come judgement day!

In the face of adversity, stand by your Lord
Cause to lie for Satan you can't afford.
For if you told this one lie
Could you look God in the eye?

For a mother cannot save the soul of her son
With a false testimony, only Satan has won.

If in the truth you will stay
Then you are doing things God's way.
And things will all turn out okay
He still works miracles everyday!

Thanks to God for the inspiration

This was written for a friend of mine, who is going through a very difficult decision, of telling the truth or speaking a lie, concerning her son.

hi dove.
i read in one of your responses that your poetry is mainly spiritual. in another one, i read that you were in an abusive relatioship. i don't mean to pry, but if you want to, i would like to know if it was after the relationship that you bercame so spiritual, were you before, was it a part of your healing, or a combination of some of these. you don't have to answer, but if you want to, i would like to know.
thanks,
angel
