Verse 1:
Am F
For the longest time, I believed the lie
G Em
That Im not a strong enough believer

To be the friend that can take your hand
G Em
And lead you straight to Jesus
Am F
Im waiting on the preachers, singers, and the teachers
G Em
To string the perfect words together
Am F
But every single time I have to say goodbye
G Em
I wonder will this be the last time
Dm Am G
I cant call myself your friend and walk away
Chorus:
Am G
When we love, we earn the right to speak the truth
Dm Am
When we speak truth, we show the world we truly love
C G

I lay it all on the line now to see God save my friend
Dm Am G
Let my life and my words be the proof
Am F G Em
Im gonna love you with the truth
Am F G Em
Gonna love you with the truth
Verse 2:
Am F
Yes, God is love, but God is just
G Em
And we are separated in our darkness
Am F
So God let Him who knew no sin
G Em
To become sin to make us right with Him
Am F
Its not about religion or earning Gods forgiveness
G Em
Or magic prayers or new behavior
Am F
Its all about your heart, Hell meet you where you are
G Em
Turn from your sin and trust in Christ as Lord
Dm Am G
Jesus is the truth, the life, the way

Am G
When we love, we earn the right to speak the truth

Bridge:
Dm Am C G
How Ive prayed for this moment, that you would finally see
Dm Am C G
That God is more than religion, a stained-glass fantasy
Dm Am C G
And how Ive prayed for the courage, for my silent faith to speak
Dm Am C G
Or that God would just send you a better friend than me
Chorus:
Am G
When we love, we earn the right to speak the truth
Dm Am
When we speak truth, we show the world we truly love
C G
Im not pointing my finger, Im holding out my hand

Im gonna love you with the truth
Am F G Em
Gonna love you with the truth
End:

Ohh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhh
Am F
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhh
