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 Gods forgiveness
Or magic prayers or new behavior
It`s all about your heart
He will 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 stainedglass 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
