119 It Is Such a Joy to Be an Honest Person
Verse 1
Knowing truth frees my spirit, brings me joy.
I don’t doubt God’s words, I am full of faith.
I’m not negative, and I don’t despair.
Loyal in my duty, I’m not flesh’s slave.
My caliber’s low but my heart is true.
I follow principle, God’s will I meet.
Open and honest, I live in the light.
I practice truth, obey God, without deceit.
Chorus
Honest people, come and talk heart to heart.
All God-loving people meet as good friends.
Those who love truth are brothers and sisters.
O happy ones, sing and dance in God’s praise.
Verse 2
Eating and drinking of the words of God,
fellowshiping truth, I’m happy as can be.
Often praying and communing with God
bring me joy of the highest degree.

I am no longer subject to constraints.
Blessed to have God with me, live in God’s words.
Shaking off all bonds of flesh is God’s grace.

Honest people, come and talk heart to heart.
All God-loving people meet as good friends.
