205 God Himself Is the Truth and the Life
Verse 1
God Himself is life and truth,
and His life and truth are intertwined.
Those who gain not His truth, gain not life.
Without receiving the guidance and support of His truth,
man is left with mere letters and doctrines,
man is left with death.
God’s life and truth are intertwined and ever-present.
If you know not the source of truth,
you receive not the nourishment of life.
Chorus
Christ of the last days brings life
and carries enduring and everlasting truth.
This truth is the path that man must walk to gain life.
It is the only path to knowing God
and receiving His approval.
Verse 2
If you gain not the provision of life,
you surely possess not the truth.
You are merely putrid flesh,
just empty imagination and fruitless ideation.
Chorus
Christ of the last days brings life
and carries enduring and everlasting truth.
This truth is the path that man must walk to gain life.
It is the only path to knowing God
and receiving His approval.
Bridge
The words in books are not life,
the records of history are not truth,
the old ways of the past
are not the records of the words God speaks today.
The truth is expressed only by
God on the earth and God among man.
He expresses God’s will and His way of working.
Chorus
Christ of the last days brings life,
carries enduring and everlasting truth.
This truth is the path that man must walk to gain life.
It is the only path to knowing God
and receiving His approval.
Christ of the last days brings the way to eternal life.
