Truth isn’t just a concept in Scripture — it’s a Person, a lifestyle, and a battle cry. This song was born out of this week’s Word Nerd Wednesday deep dive into aletheia (Greek for “truth with nothing hidden”) and its Hebrew counterpart ’emet (“faithful, unshakable truth”).
It’s a reminder that God’s truth doesn’t change when the culture does, and it doesn’t need soft edges to be safe. If the truth feels like it’s shaking your comfort zone, that’s not cruelty — that’s God rearranging your life to match His reality.
“Aletheia (Nothing Hidden)” is my prayer and declaration to live fully in that truth — even when it rattles the walls I’ve built. May it challenge you, free you, and maybe even wreck your favorite false comfort in the best possible way.
Lyrics
Aletheia (Nothing Hidden)
Verse 1You see through the masks we wear,Every shadow, every tear.No hiding in the dark of night,Your truth will drag it into light.
Verse 2Not “my truth” or shifting sand,It’s the Word from Your own hand.From Eden’s call to Calvary’s hill,Your truth stands steady, standing still.
ChorusAletheia — nothing hidden, nothing fake,Your Word cuts clean, no mistake.Set me free from the lies I’ve known,Build my life on truth alone.
Verse 3Hebrew roots and Greek reply,’Emet steady, never a lie.Faithful God, unchanging King,Your truth’s the song creation sings.
Verse 4So tear down every false pretense,Make my heart Your evidence.If the truth shakes walls I’ve made,Let them fall — I’m not afraid.
ChorusAletheia — nothing hidden, nothing fake,Your Word cuts clean, no mistake.Set me free from the lies I’ve known,Build my life on truth alone.
BridgeYour truth won’t whisper just to please,It’s fire that burns, it’s wind that frees.And if it rattles comfort’s door,I’ll throw it wide — I want You more.
Final Chorus / OutroAletheia — nothing hidden, nothing fake,Your Word cuts clean, no mistake.Every chain and shadow’s gone,In Your truth, I still belong.
