Time Will Tell

Time will tell if you be true,

If words you speak are genuine.

Time will tell if thoughts you think

Are pure in heart and disciplined.

Time will tell if you profess

What is the truth, and sins confess,

Or if you lie and cover up

The lusts of flesh o’er you obsess.

Time will tell if plans you make

Are of the flesh or they of God.

Time will tell if you’re sincere

Or if indeed you are a fraud.

Time will tell if you perform

So others think that you are good,

Or if you truly worship God

And on the truth you really stood.

Time will tell what is the truth,

If you be true or so uncouth.

Time will tell so many things

If you be real or be a sleuth.

So all in time things be revealed,

Things that are hidden and concealed.

They will be known, they will be shown

For what they are, no longer sealed.
