The Whole Truth
(专辑: The Whole Truth - 2011)
When I
was dead, revived my soul Takes the
broken makes them whole Takes the
bound makes them free Takes the
weak and makes them strong All of my sins been erased He has lifted my disgrace I'm overjoyed, overjoyed That Jesus would make me whole I
ain't tryin to be hot just tryin to be relevant I
ain't a
candle I
ain't trying to wax eloquent I'm runnin from my life, now I'm tryin to fight hard These ain't just lyrics but a
contrite heart Yeah, feeling it like the
heat in the
summer We know better but the
flesh be keeping us running Back the
leeks and onions that's the
recent discovered If it's in the
dark it's impossible to keep secrets covered Who would have known that my indiscretions would reach my cousins I
apologize to Mimi my niece and others Should have been able to trust but I
breached the
covenant I
knew you all before you was able to reach the
cupboard Now when I
preached in public it's all out the
window Cause sin contradicted a
lot of what my pen wrote Especially when I
wrote an open book Apparently there was something in me I
overlooked [Hook:] When I
was dead, revived my soul Takes the
broken makes them whole Takes the
bound makes them free Takes the
weak and makes them strong All of my sins been erased He has lifted my disgrace I'm overjoyed, overjoyed That Jesus would make me whole Check my records I
got surprised like Harlem Knights I
need Jesus David's son like a
harley bike Wasn't hardly right what I
did was wrong And it ticks me off and sets me off And I
hate the
consequences cause death results But I
know I
reap what I
sow like Betsy Ross He ain't tempt me but He let me fall Now I
carry all that pain, sin left me scarred He let me fall but He ain't let me go And now I
wouldn't stray, sin left me broke Yeah the
life in me ain't no crystal stair But I
keep climbing cause the
diamond is crystal clear At times I'm quiet, I
get a
chair Sit and stare think about the
ways that sin affected my fiscal year Yeah the
tide is turning now, shifting gears Though I'm weak; He's given strength in the
midst of tears [Hook] Felt dead and lonely Only God knows That Jesus came to breathe life on my dry bones I
know a
lot, knowing a
lot's not wrong But now it's all about application like the
iPhone I
got hang-ups like dial tones Yeah but Jesus hung up and died so No condemnation, that's my consolation Am I
still guilty? Not a
conversation Now I
just wanna proclaim it in the
congregation God is good and Doctor Jesus got a
lot of patience I'm on the
operating table, heart palpitatin, look at what the
bride is shaping God I
thank the
body, cause y'all came behind me When my foot slipped and I
sank in the
valley Something supernatural happened when the
saints rallied My true friends held me up like a
bank robbery And that's foolproof, I
can't even front like a
gold tooth I
hate what I
had to go through, but I
love the
fact that I
got to know you So what you are witnessing now is the
whole truth [Hook]
