In the process of seeking purpose in life and attempting to
get a hold on Truth, I’ve looked to and trusted in many things. As Father has walked me through various
stages of understanding, He has shown me that although most of us place high
stakes in such worldly things, there is no hope in any of them. While I’m sure the journey and lessons are
not finished, I’ve come to recognize that unadulterated purpose and Truth can
not be found in this world, even within the religious systems. The lyrics below express the journey which often
leads to that understanding.
Searching for Truth in a World Full of Lies
By
Bonnie Jaeckle, April 2013
CHORUS:
Searching for truth in
a world full of lies.
Don’t look to the altar;
don’t look to the skies.
We won’t find answers;
it’s all a disguise,
If we’re searching for
truth in a world full of lies.
Climb that ladder toward riches and fame.
Fend for Myself
to gain a great name.
Seek more education.
Don’t stop for a rest
‘Til finally I question, “What IS success?”
Sit back and enjoy!
Get out for some fun!
It’s all about ME. I
am the one!
Games and parties, retirement and wine,
‘Til I’m old and lonely with only a short time.
CHORUS:
Searching for truth in
a world full of lies.
Don’t look to the altar;
don’t look to the skies.
We won’t find answers;
it’s all a disguise,
If we’re searching for
truth in a world full of lies.
One more study.
They’re finding a way
To keep me young and healthy always.
My faith is in science and the next helpful pill
‘Til my body starts screaming, “They’re designed to kill!”
“Religion’s the answer,” the self-righteous will say,
“Going to church is the only
way!
I’ve got the
answers! My preacher’s got it right!”
‘Til my eyes are opened, I’ve been blinded by pride!
CHORUS:
Searching for truth in
a world full of lies.
Don’t look to the altar;
don’t look to the skies.
We won’t find answers;
it’s all a disguise,
If we’re searching for
truth in a world full of lies.
My nation’s the
greatest…My country’s the best!
I must fight for my
freedom…Take it all from the rest!
My trust is in warfare and I’ll stand ‘til the end!
‘Til the truth is exposed that the nations are friends!
There’s Something bigger, more powerful, you see,
Than the systems of religion or Global policies.
When the facts sink in and hard reality hits
We’ll all come to see that this world isn’t it!
Searching for truth in
a world full of lies.
Don’t look to the altar;
don’t look to the skies.
We won’t find answers;
it’s all a disguise,
If we’re searching for
truth in a world full of lies.
Whole-Heartedly,
Bonnie
