Truth Lyrics

Truth lyrics

I've been putting on and putting off too many people, 

and I'm getting old to live

Like an injured man, ailments and unfilled prescription

Like the nose on my face.

Like a broken boat, safety raft, love for the water

Well I just can't decide 

to sink of swim it's me or them should I save myself?

Or go back for the others…



Because maybe there's no gray and I was wrong to tell them so

Then maybe all that I've to do was done a long time ago



REFRAIN

Because there was life before my life

There was provision before my need

There was redemption for my sin

for the sake of the world, I thank the Lord

that the truth's not contingent on me.



‘Cause I've been dressing up and dressing down for too many people

And I'm a little young to live

Like a troubled boy, a troubled soul, fish out of water

‘Cause we're all just the same

We're all just as good, and just as bad, and just as distracted 

by the corners of our eyes

As our father's were and theirs before and all those before them

But still I glance around.  



And with the way I stare you'd think I'd seen through a two by four.

And with the way I walk you'd think I'd never seen grace before.



Because there was life before my life

There was provision before my need

There was redemption for my sin

for the sake of the world, I thank the Lord

that the truth's not contingent on me.



I've been putting up and putting down too many things

I know nothing about

Well I'm jealous of, holding pride as tight as I can

Like she was my only daughter.



There was life before my life

There was provision before my need

There was redemption for my sin

for the sake of the world.

I thank the Lord

that the truth's not contingent on me.



‘Cause the truth's not contingent on me.
