To tell the truth is what I want to do
Because You love the lips that speak the truth
To tell a lie leads me away from You
So help me, God, to tell the truth

Your Words will last forever
They never change or fade
You never break a promise
We can trust all You say
But when my words aren't truthful
I'm doing something wrong
They'll only last a moment
Suddenly they'll be gone

A little lie seems harmless
Like ordinary words
But lies we tell to others
Are like a sword that hurts
When someone tries to tell me
That covering up's okay
Don't let me be dishonest
Help me to humbly say
