Lyrics
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 waitin' 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 pointin' 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 (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Gonna love you with the truth (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
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
With 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 pointin' 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 (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Gonna love you with the truth (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
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 pointin' 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 (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Gonna love you with the truth (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
