    Hi - I'm not sure which song book this one was from- either the very old pink on or the mustard coloured one. It was, I think called "Make the Truth your Own" and the verse I remember goes - make the truth your own- from something something you'll be shown(???) by the way you do conduct yourself you make known that the truth is your own" A scan of the page would be great but any help would be appreciated

    Also - on the topic of songs= this one was for sure from the pink one "Fear not those who kill the body- but cannot destroy the soul- to the end continue faithful- I will help you to your goal" my sister and I were shocked to remember the referance to the sould, although we may be remembering wrong- thanks, sosad

    Make the Truth Your Own

    (2 Corinthians 4:2)

    1. The way of the truth is the best way of living.

    No better way can there be found.

    Christ Jesus has taught us the value of giving,

    That happiness spreads all around.

    Make the truth your own.

    May your faith to all be shown.

    By the way you do conduct yourself,

    You make known that the truth is your own.

    2. By putting God first and him actively praising,

    The world and its friendship you’ll lose.

    To those without faith, it is truly amazing

    That God’s righteous way you did choose.

    Make the truth your own.

    Shun the world; leave it alone.

    As to God Jehovah you draw near,

    You make known that the truth is your own.

    3. The Devil will ever resort to deception,

    But him you can firmly oppose.

    The large shield of faith will provide sure protection,

    And with it you’ll ward off his blows.

    Make the truth your own.

    Satan’s wiles are not unknown.

    Putting on the armor God supplies,

    You make known that the truth is your own.

    4. The flesh is so weak, and the heart too is desp’rate.

    With this sinful state you contend.

    But please be assured that you can overcome it,

    For God is your Helper and Friend.

    Make the truth your own.

    To bad ways do not be prone.

    If your body members you control,

    You make known that the truth is your own.

    Song 27

    Fear Them Not!

    (Matthew 10:28)

    1. Ever onward, O my people,

    Let the Kingdom tidings go.

    Tremble not before your foe.

    Let all lovers of truth know

    That my reigning Son, Christ Jesus,

    From the heav’ns has cast the foe,

    Soon will bind the Devil, Satan,

    Letting all his victims go.

    (Chorus)

    2. Though your foes be strong and many,

    Though they threaten and revile,

    Though they use fair speech and smile,

    The unwary to beguile,

    Fear them not, my faithful warriors.

    Fight! Let not your heart grow faint;

    For I will preserve the faithful,

    Keep them free from all restraint.

    (Chorus)

    3. Never fear you are forgotten;

    I am still your strength and shield.

    Though you die upon the field,

    Even death to me will yield.

    Fear them not, my Christian warriors;

    Though men’s boasting threats may fly,

    I will keep all who are faithful

    As the apple of my eye.

    (CHORUS)

    Fear not those who kill the body

    But cannot destroy the soul.

    Faithful to the end continue;

    I will help you reach your goal.

    Fear not those who kill the body

    But cannot destroy the soul.

    don't dubs believe the body and soul are the same?

    This was a question that was asked from time to time and I think the explanation was that the soul (nephesh ?) or the persons characteristics etc. were remembered by Jehovah so that the person could be resurrected with those same qualities. The corrupted body would be made afresh though.

    I used to confuse this with spirit (neumah ?) and always felt that someone was trying to pull the wool over my eyes!
