Truth is a demo album released by Christian rock singer, and Stryper frontman, Michael Sweet. The album was independently produced by Sweet and released in 1998 under his own label.

The album was sold through Sweet's website and did very well selling 10,000 units. This prompted several labels to seek the rights to release it. ^[2] The album was re-released two years later (see Truth (2000 version)).

Two of the songs ("One" and "Rain") weren't included in the 2000 version.
