TRUTHBETOLD: A SONG ABOUT CHURCH, MINISTRY AND UNFORTUNATELY REJECTION…

A Song By Matthew West (Official Music Video)

A SONG ABOUT CHURCH, MINISTRY AND UNFORTUNATELY REJECTION…AND HOW IT FEELS TO BE REJECTED, THEN ACCEPTED WHEN THE TRUTH GETS TOLD

Lie number 1 you’re supposed to have it all together

And when they ask how you’re doing just smile and tell them “never better”

Lie number 2 everybody’s life is perfect except yours

So keep your messes and your wounds and your secrets safe with you behind closed doors

Truth be told The truth is rarely 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 and the sinner and the scarred and the prodigal

Truth be told The truth is rarely told Am I the only one who says…

Can I really stand here unashamed And know that you love for me won’t change

Oh God If that’s really true Then let the Truth Be Told
