Love You With The Truth · letra

For the longest time, I believed the lie That I'm not a strong enough believer To be the friend that can take your hand And lead you straight to Jesus I'm waiting on the preachers, singers, and the teachers To string the perfect words together But every single time I have to say goodbye I wonder will this be the last time
I can't call myself your friend and walk away
When we love, we earn the right to speak the truth When we speak truth, we show the world we truly love I'm not pointing my finger, I'm holding out my hand I lay it all on the line now to see God save my friend Let my life and my words be the proof I'm gonna love you with the truth Gonna love you with the truth
Yes, God is love, but God is just And we are separated in our darkness So God let Him who knew no sin To become sin to make us right with Him It's not about religion or earning God's forgiveness Or magic prayers or new behavior It's all about your heart, He'll meet you where you are Turn from your sin and trust in Christ as Lord
Jesus is the truth, the life, the way
When we love, we earn the right to speak the truth When we speak truth, we show the world we truly love I'm not pointing my finger, I'm holding out my hand I lay it all on the line now to see God save my friend Let my life and my words be the proof I'm gonna love you with the truth Gonna love you with the truth
How I've prayed for this moment, that you would finally see That God is more than religion, a stained-glass fantasy And how I've prayed for the courage, for my silent faith to speak Or that God would just send you a better friend than me
When we love, we earn the right to speak the truth When we speak truth, we show the world we truly love I'm not pointing my finger, I'm holding out my hand I lay it all on the line now to see God save my friend Let my life and my words be the proof I'm gonna love you with the truth Gonna love you with the truth
