Truth Be Told

Let’s be the church that Jesus created and tear down our walls between us and the world around us.

Let the truth be told: Come as you are. Welcome with open arms and compassion for every person because every person is loved by God.

Lyrics: Truth Be Told by Matthew West

There’s a sign on the door
Says, “Come as you are” but I doubt it
‘Cause if we lived like that was true
Every Sunday mornin’ pew would be crowded
But didn’t you say church should look more like a hospital?
A safe place for the sick
The sinner and the scarred and the prodigals, like me

Well, truth be told
The truth is rarely told
Oh, am I the only one who says

“I’m fine, yeah, I’m fine, oh, I’m fine, hey, I’m fine”
But I’m not, I’m broken
And when it’s out of control I say it’s under control
But it’s not and You know it
I don’t know why it’s so hard to admit it
When being honest is the only way to fix it
There’s no failure, no fall
There’s no sin You don’t already know
So let the truth be told

Can I really stand here unashamed
Knowing that Your love for me won’t change?
Oh God, if that’s really true
Then let the truth be told
