Verse 1
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
Verse 2
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
Pre Chorus
I can't call myself your friend
And walk away
Chorus
When we love
We earn the right to speak the truth
When we speak truth
We show the world we truly love
Chorus
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
Refrain
Let my life and my words be the proof
Interlude
I'm gonna love you with the truth
Interlude
I'm gonna love you
With the truth
Verse 3
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
Verse 4
It's not about religion
Or earning God's forgiveness
Or magic prayers or new behaviour
It's all about your heart
He'll meet you where you are
Turn from your sin
And trust in Christ as Lord
Pre Chorus
Jesus is the truth the life the way
Chorus
When we love
We earn the right to speak the truth
When we speak truth
We show the world we truly love

I'm holding out my hand
I lay it all on the line now
To see God save my friend
Refrain
Let my life and my words be the proof
Interlude

Interlude
I'm gonna love you
With the truth
Bridge
How I've prayed for this moment
That you would finally see
That God is more than religion
A stained-glass fantasy
Bridge
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
Chorus
When we love
We earn the right to speak the truth
When we speak truth
We show the world we truly love
Chorus
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
Refrain
Let my life and my words be the proof
Interlude
I'm gonna love you with the truth
Interlude
I'm gonna love you
With the truth
