Open in the Worship LibraryLyrics
(Verse 1) Well, you open up your ears to the noise in the street, Everybody's sellin' somethin' that sounds real sweet. They got a shiny line of talk and a polished shoe, But you gotta know the difference between false and true! Don't just go believin' every clever phrase, You gotta test the spirit before you change your ways! (Chorus) That’s the power of the truth! Gotta test it every day! If it points to Lord Jesus, you can walk that way! Confessin' He came in the flesh to save, Victory over death and a broken grave! Yeah, that’s the power of the truth! (Verse 2) Now the world will try to fake it with a slick disguise, Tricking all the people with a pack of lies. But the Spirit of God gives a signal so clear, Chasing out the doubts and the foolish fear. Look for Jesus Christ and you'll find the key, To the only kind of love that can set you free! (Chorus) That’s the power of the truth! Gotta test it every day! If it points to Lord Jesus, you can walk that way! Confessin' He came in the flesh to save, Victory over death and a broken grave! Yeah, that’s the power of the truth! (Verse 3) So turn around today from the wrong you’ve done, Give your heart and soul to God’s only Son! He took it to the cross, paid the price in full, There's no better news—no stretch, no bull! Accept Him as your Lord, make Jesus your King, And taste the real life that His grace will bring! (Chorus) [Full band explodes back in with max energy] That’s the power of the truth! Gotta test it every day! If it points to Lord Jesus, you can walk that way! Confessin' He came in the flesh to save, Victory over death and a broken grave! Yeah, that’s the power of the truth! (Outro) Gotta test every spirit! Jesus is the Lord! Walk in the truth! That's the power!
Study notes
Main Themes and Message God's True Nature: Calling God "love" means His fundamental character is loving, benevolent, and relational. His ultimate proof of this love was sending Jesus Christ to save humanity. Knowing and Trusting Love: Believers must actively know, accept, and rely on (or "believe") this divine love in their daily lives rather than doubting it. Abiding (Living) in God: To "abide" or live in love means making God's love your permanent spiritual home. When you love others, you share in God's presence, and He actively lives and works through you. Removing Fear: When people truly understand and dwell in God's unconditional love, it removes their dread of judgment and replaces it with deep peace and confidence.
