I want to say I wrote this for a friend of mine who is making a difficult decision. Of whether to lie or speak the truth. The way people put it to her, is to lie and maybe it will save her son. Please, keep in mind that we are nobody's "savior" and this should be left to God... I know sometimes it can be very hard to tell the truth, but in Christ that is where we must stay. IN the TRUTH! And despite all, this is what she chose to do, to speak the truth no matter what! 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 you 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 be to God for helping me through this one! |

i would like to take a moment to express some thoughts.it took quite alot of courage to express yourself in the manner you have demonsrtated here. you can be proud of you,and your friend.honesty take courage, and we get that from our lord God,and our saviour Jesus.if we stay true to what we believe in,and are honest with ourselves, and each other.we will always be eye to eye with God. |

Thank you much r.Baker33. I totally agree with you. This is a very hard thing for her to do. Her son is on death row and everyone is telling her to lie to the testimony the lawyers have written. And they tell her that this testimony depends on her to save his life. So thank you and God Bless You!!!!! |
