Inspiration Behind the Music

What is your truth? Is truth something that is limited to perception or does it transcend what we perceive to be reality? Is it objective or subjective? If truth really exists, why then are there so many different views and opinions in our world? On the other hand, if absolute truth doesn’t exist, why do we try so hard to bring order to the chaos of life? Because many today are uncomfortable with the idea of absolute truth, the opposing view that truth is relative has become popular. But how can the idea that there is no absolute truth be true, if there is really no absolute truth?

When I was in high school, a friend who must have been really enjoying his philosophy class, asked us a question that we probably had never considered until then. “If a tree falls in a forest and you are not there to see it, then did the tree really fall? My friend argued quite persuasively that it didn’t. According to him, truth is only what we are able to perceive. I don’t remember how I responded to his arguments, but I do remember that I didn’t agree. If truth is only what we know, then why do we chase after knowledge as much as we do?

There are realities that only require the five senses to perceive, but there are also realities that require both mind and heart in order to be realized. When Satan began his rebellion, there was no doubt of God’s existence. The basis of Satan’s rebellion was that his way of doing things were better than God’s. (Isaiah 14:12-14) We don’t have to look far to see that Satan’s ideas on how the universe should be governed were not only wrong, but fatal. If we accept the truth that God has placed in every human heart, (Romans 8:16) we would not only be able to perceive the reality of his existence, but also the reality of his wisdom. Psalms 119:142)

Even though our sins have separated us from our creator, (Isaiah 59:2) God has given us much evidence of his desire to be reunited with us. This is why he became a man and dwelt among us. He came to show us that truth is more than just an abstract reality, it is a person. (John 14:6) This truth is revealed in our hearts. (2 Corinthians 4:6) It leads us back to communion with our Heavenly Father, the place from which we fell. ( Psalms 43:3)

As we receive the truth of God’s word revealed in our hearts, we are drawn closer to him and he draws nearer to us. The more of his presence we experience the more we desire. This is why David asked God to send out light and truth so that he could be lead in to God’s dwelling place. (Psalms 43:3) It was after reflecting on this verse that this song was written. This kind of yearning for truth can only be motivated by a love for the one who identifies himself as “truth.” So then, to love truth, is to love God and to love God is to love truth. When the reality of our faith is revealed to our senses and we are face to face with our Creator, there will be no room for doubt nor will we look for reasons to doubt as Satan did. It will be evident that God’s laws are true and best.
