  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 God’s forgiveness
  Or magic prayers or new behavior
  It’s all about your heart, He’ll 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 stained-glass 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
