Teach me the glory of my cross;

teach me the value of my thorn.

Show me that I have climbed to Thee by the path of pain.

Show me that my tears have made

my rainbows.

To Declare The Truth

February 28, 2018 jakin7

“Truth is powerful and it prevails.”

The Lord gave me ‘Sojourner,’ because I was to travel up an’ down the land, showin’ the people their sins an’ bein’ a sign unto them. Afterwards, I told the Lord I wanted another name ’cause everybody else had two names, and the Lord gave me ‘Truth,’ because I was to declare the truth to people. Sojourner Truth 1793-1883
