Verse 1:
For the longest t[Am]ime, I believed the l[F]ie
That Im not a stro[G]ng enough bel[Em]iever
To be the fri[Am]end that can take your h[F]and
And le[G]ad you straight to J[Em]esus
Im waiting on the prea[Am]chers, singers, and the teac[F]hers
To string the pe[G]rfect words to[Em]gether
But every single t[Am]ime I have to say good[F]bye
I wonder w[G]ill this be the l[Em]ast time
I cant c[Dm]all myself your fr[Am]iend and walk a[G]way
Chorus:
When we l[Am]ove, we earn the right to speak the tr[G]uth
When we speak t[Dm]ruth, we show the world we truly l[Am]ove
Im not pointing my fi[C]nger, Im holding out my h[G]and
I lay it all on the l[Am]ine now to see God save my f[F]riend
Let my l[Dm]ife and my w[Am]ords be the p[G]roof
Im gonna love you with the truth[Am][F][G][Em]
Gonna love you with the truth[Am][F][G][Em]
Verse 2:
Yes, God is l[Am]ove, but God is j[F]ust
And we are se[G]parated in our dar[Em]kness
So God let [Am]Him who knew no s[F]in
To become s[G]in to make us r[Em]ight with Him
Its not about rel[Am]igion or earning Gods for[F]giveness
Or magic pr[G]ayers or new beh[Em]avior
Its all about your h[Am]eart, Hell meet you where you a[F]re
Turn from your s[G]in and trust in Ch[Em]rist as Lord
J[Dm]esus is the tr[Am]uth, the life, the w[G]ay
Chorus:
When we lo[Am]ve, we earn the right to speak the tr[G]uth
When we speak t[Dm]ruth, we show the world we truly l[Am]ove
Im not pointing my fi[C]nger, Im holding out my h[G]and
I lay it all on the l[Am]ine now to see God save my f[F]riend
Let my l[Dm]ife and my w[Am]ords be the pr[G]oof
Im gonna love you with the truth[Am][F][G][Em]
Gonna love you with the truth[Am][F][G][Em]
Bridge:
[Dm]How Ive pr[Am]ayed for this moment, t[C]hat you would f[G]inally see
[Dm]That God is m[Am]ore than religion, [C]a stained-glass f[G]antasy
[Dm]And how Ive pr[Am]ayed for the courage, [C]for my silent f[G]aith to speak
[Dm]Or that [Am]God would just send you [C]a better f[G]riend than me
Chorus:
When we l[Am]ove, we earn the right to speak the tr[G]uth
