Ryan J Miller - Pillar of Truth Lyrics

A noble task, an overseer's call
Above reproach, faithful through it all
Temperate self-control, respectful ways
Hospitable teaching, gentle he stays

In God's house the pillar of truth stands
Guided by His word, led by His commands
Living godly hearts, sincere we rise
In His love we find our prize

Not a recent convert, humble and wise
Managing the whole, God's church in their eyes
A reputation good beyond reproach
Steadfast in faith where Christ approaches

Deacons stand worthy, sincere and true
Holding to faith, tested and proved
Not given to excess, honest and game
In respect and trust they remain

In God's house the pillar of truth stands
Guided by His word, led by His commands
Living godly hearts, sincere we rise
In His love we find our prize

Women of respect, gentle and just
Faithful in their walk, in God we trust
Serving well, they gain assurance bright
In the faith of Christ, they find the light

The mystery of godliness so great
He came in flesh, the Spirit vindicates
Seen by angels preached to nations wide
Believed in the world, ascended in glory high

In God's house the pillar of truth stands
Guided by His word, led by His commands
Living godly hearts, sincere we rise
In His love we find our prize

In God's household, conduct pure and clear
Pillar of truth, His voice we hear
Christ the foundation, our faith we claim
In His glory we proclaim His name
