Indestructible Truth

They burned the truth in the market place and thought their work complete;
But next day, with a smiling face, they met it on the street.

They threw it in a dungeon damp, and thought it was no more;
But lo, it walked with lighted lamp among them as before.

They scorned and ostracized it, and ordered it to depart;
But still it dwelt in all the land and challenged every heart.

-- Flynn (via Glad Tidings of Good Things, Jacksonville Church of Christ)
