Deeply Rooted

Deeply Rooted
Gospel truths I hold so dear
Can never be swept away
Not any vain attempt
Will convince me to stray

The truths can be twisted and masked
And made to sound so real
They can be painted with colors so bright
And wrapped with great appeal

The Devil takes the Gospel truths
And turns them into lies
But only does so by a few degrees
Thus, our conviction slowly dies

Hold firm to the truths from God
The Spirit has witnessed to your heart
They're correct and without flaw
And have been from the start

The truths I have deeply rooted
Can never be swept away
Not any vain attempt
Will ever convince me to stray
