TRUE

There was a Man

Amid a world lying

In the wicked one; all

He said was true .

Amongst gainsayers,

Self-seekers, and those at enmity

With truth, He could

Be named the Amen.

Among disciples He could start,

As He could with Pharisees,

Sentences of high intent,

"Verily, verily ...".

Before His Father He could

Acknowledge One in glory

And in intimacy as

The only true God.
