Truth Be Told

·

Lie number 1
Lie number 2
Truth be told
I say, “I’m fine, yeah I’m fine oh I’m fine, hey I’m fine”
But I’m not, I’m broken
And when it’s out of control I say it’s under control
But it’s not, and you know it
I don’t know why it’s so hard to admit it
When being honest is the only way to fix it
There’s no failure, no fall
There’s no sin you don’t already know
So let the truth be told
There’s a sign on the door
Saying “come as you are” but I doubt it
If we lived like it was true
Every Sunday morning pew would be crowded
But didn’t you say the church should look more like a hospital
A safe place for the sick
The sinner and the scarred and the prodigal like me
Truth be told
The truth is rarely told
Am I the only one who says
Can I really stand here unashamed
Knowing that your love for me won’t change
Oh God If that’s really true
Then let the truth be told
