Verse 1

Jesus stood before Pilate and said, "My Kingdom is not of this plane."

Pilate asked, "You are a King, then?" hoping to clear his own blame

"For this reason, I came to the world: To testify to the truth."

"All on the side of truth listen to me."

And Pilate said,"What is truth?"

 

Chorus:

Truth is the truth; it doesn't change.

And it doesn't matter if you believe it.

Truth is the truth; it remains the same.

It's reality as God sees it.

 

Verse 2

I spoke to someone who had strange ideas about what’s right in some situations

"What's true for you isn't true for me."  She said with a sense of elation.

 

I tried to explain that real truth exists.  I told her there are absolutes.

"Truth is, there is right and there is wrong," 

And she said, "What is truth?"

 

Chorus:

Truth is the truth; it doesn't change.

And it doesn't matter if you believe it.

Truth is the truth; it remains the same.

It's reality as God sees it.

 

 

Bridge

Man thinks he decides what’swrong and what’s right;

Swaps the truth of God for a lie

He does so much that shouldn’t be done.

But it’s right in his own eyes. 

 

Men love evil rather than good; Falsehood rather than truth

When confronted with the laws of God

They ask, "What is truth?"

 

Chorus:

Truth is the truth; it doesn't change.

And it doesn't matter if you believe it.

Truth is the truth; it remains the same.

It's reality as God sees it.

 

Verse 3

The standard was set so long ago.  It was set for our own good Sl 2nd & 3rd str from 9th fret

The world would be a better place   

if we would just do as we should.

 

There is an objective observer; One who sees and knows everything

He's the only one who has all the facts.

"God is truth!"

 

Chorus:

Truth is the truth; it doesn't change.

And it doesn't matter if you believe it.

Truth is the truth; it remains the same.

It's reality as God sees it.
