Uncompromising Truth

Mike Petillo, BD
A Response to Roman's  "Secretum Excommunicationis" Before My Conversion By A "Crudelis Methodo" to Expose the Deeds of Darkness
 
O Lord of truth divine
Shall I flee to worldly design?
No apostate shall I be
Changed Thine own by Thy Spirit
Thou art God of truth and grace
Of the flawless Word divine
Uncompromising Lord of glory
Lo! A ocean of truth and grace
Jesus, always faithful in what to say
Lo! A ocean of truth and grace
Jesus, always faithful in what to say

O God of unwavering truth
Shall we compromise this day?
Or believe Thy Word and stay
In Thy holy truth divine
Of the prophets and apostles
Rooted in the God of truth
Thy Word is divinely adequate
Lo! Truth of truth Thy Word is true
Surely the Word divine, precious treasure of truth divine
Lo! Truth of truth Thy Word is true
Surely the Word divine, precious treasure of truth divine

Should I flee to the Roman see?
Where Thy Word is not enough
And Tradition overthrows Thy words
Here I come to Thy Word alone
Humbled, broken; Thy Word, a guide
Here I rely on Thy Word of truth
Lo! A spring of truth I see abounding before me
In Thy Word, equipped to every good work
Lo! A spring of truth I see abounding before me
In Thy Word, equipped to every good work

Surely Thy Word alone will do
No tradition of Rome to use, but Thy Word
Received by Thy fathers of old
Resting and anchored in the Word divine
Truly a treasure of sweetest peace
God-breathed gift of truth and grace
Lo! A lamp to my feet and light in darkness
Thy Word, a foundation of divine truth
Lo! A lamp to my feet and light in darkness
Thy Word, a foundation of divine truth

Here we see the divine Word
Speaking the gospel of divine righteousness
Only the righteousness of Christ will avail
Here we see the gospel truth
Thy Word of imputed merit
By Thy work seen in Thy Word
Lo! A gift of divine treasure
Prophetic utterances of heavenly peace
Lo! A gift of divine treasure
Prophetic utterances of heavenly peace
