Help finding "This is the Truth" hymn lyrics

About ten years ago I remember the congregation I belonged to in a Baptist church singing a wonderful song full of basic doctrinal truth from the Scripture. I believe the title might have been "This is the Truth." Each line begins with "This is the truth as we have received it...", then states a basic truth. The chorus goes "Oh hallelujah,..." and restates the truth; for example one verse talks about Jesus interceding for us and the chorus is "Oh hallejuah, Jesus is praying, Oh hallejuah, Jesus is Lord." It is so uplifting to sing and procalim these truths in song. We are members of a house church and would love to locate at least the words, if not the music, to share with our body. Our former minister of music cannot locate the song either. It was not actually part of the hymnal, but had been inserted in the hymnals. Thanks so much!

I happened to find the words at the following website. http://www.owensministries.org/poetry3. ... tion&id=45 I have not been able to find the song on any of the hymn websites. Hopefully, you know the tune.
The Truth
(Psalm 119:105) "Your Word, O Lord, is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. "

This is the truth as we have received it,
These are the facts that are based on God's Word.
Christ died for sinners and He was buried,
But on the third day He rose from the grave.
O hallelujah, Jesus is risen.
O hallelujah, Jesus is Lord.

This is the truth as we have received it,
We all were part of the first Adam's tree;
But in Christ Jesus the second Adam
We've now become part of God's family.
O hallelujah, Jesus our brother,
O hallelujah, Jesus is Lord.

This is the truth as we have received it,
We died with Christ on that old rugged cross.
But when He rose, we rose with Him in victory,
Now we are heirs and joint heirs with our Lord.
O hallelujah, with Him we've risen.
O hallelujah, Jesus is Lord.

This is the truth as we have received it;
When Christ ascended He promised to send
The Holy Spirit to comfort and guide us;
Now He lives in us and we are His home.
O hallelujah, Jesus lives in us.
O hallelujah, Jesus is Lord.

This is the truth as we have received it;
Jesus now sits at the Father's right hand.
There He is praying for every believer,
Our great High Priest, Intercessor and Friend.
O hallelujah, Jesus is praying.
O hallelujah, Jesus is Lord.

This is the truth as we have received it;
Suddenly Christ will appear in the sky.
Saints dead and living will rise up to meet Him,
At the last trump, in the blink of an eye.
O hallelujah, Jesus is coming.
O hallelujah, Jesus is Lord.

Thanks so much for finding this song. I have been looking for it also. Unfortunately I do not remember the tune. I only heard it once. Maybe I will stumble across it.
