We were raised in a cult
We called it “the Way”
But it helped to bring us
Where we are today.

With a better understanding
Of what scripture’s really saying
Thank God for listening
When we were praying.

Praying for “HIS” help
To guide us and
Give us the strength
We were needing
To stand up and say:
“You won’t see US
At another meeting!!!”

MY CRY....

I feel like a blundering idiot, misled, with a head full of sand
Wandering aimless through darkness,
No compass to guide in my hand
My cry lost amid raging waters.

My anchor lost, deep misery
The waves, the waves keep coming
Crashing all over me.

     
WHAT IS TRUTH??

Truth is Supreme:
Truth lacks nothing.
Cannot be improved upon.
It is sound, flawless, excellent, pure,
Strong in its own strength.
Truth is Absolutely Perfect.

Truth Invites Scrutiny:
Truth stands on its own merits,
Doesn't shrink from inquiry,
Doesn't fear test or trials,
For it contains nothing false...
The Truth has nothing to hide.

Truth Is Not Affected By:
Examination or Investigation,
Criticism or Condemnation,
Questions or Doubt,
Feelings or Wishful Thinking,
Approval or Disapproval,
Appreciation or Recognition,
Acceptance, Rejection or Denial.

Truth Cannot Be Altered or Eliminated:
Not by time or chance,
Nor with words or money.
Truth cannot be harmed or killed,
Nor eradicated or annihilated.
For Truth is indestructible,
Will never perish, cannot die,
Truth endures forever.

Truth cannot be erased or modified,
Is established, constant, fixed,
Remains the same and ever will remain...
For Truth is incorruptible.
His Truth endures to ALL generations

TRUTH

Truth is the power that stands erect
'Gainst every evil lie
The vile impostor must bow down
He cannot truth defy.

Truth, is the light that searches out
The hidden depths of night
And by its power, reveals all sin
The darkness flees from light.

The 2x2, God's chosen few?
Were we old, or were we new?
Yes we sung, from "Old and New,"
How old - was old? How new - was new?

Was told it's from the beginning - not of man;
What then of Irvine? Wasn't it his plan?
When I professed, I thought I chose right,
Led out of night, to the ONLY way right.

IRVINE CAME FROM KILSYTH

To the tune of Hymns Old & New #9:
Jesus Came from Heaven Revealing
 
Irvine came from Kilsyth, Scotland, to the Emerald Isle of green.
All his "truth" to us declaring, revelation now he'd seen.

TELL ME THE STORY OF IRVINE

A VISIT FROM WILLIAM IRVINE

(With apologies to Clement Clarke Moore)
 
`Twas the night before Convention, and on that hallowed ground,
All saints were awaiting the morrow's messages profound.
Preps were now over, the tasks done and re-done,
So much free sweat and labor the grounds' owner won't shun.
