Verse 1:
AmF
For the longest time, I believed the lie
GEm
That Im not a strong enough believer
AmF
To be the friend that can take your hand
GEm
And lead you straight to Jesus
AmF
Im waiting on the preachers, singers, and the teachers
GEm
To string the perfect words together
AmF
But every single time I have to say goodbye
GEm
I wonder will this be the last time
DmAmG
I cant call myself your friend and walk away
Chorus:
AmG
When we love, we earn the right to speak the truth
DmAm
When we speak truth, we show the world we truly love
CG
Im not pointing my finger, Im holding out my hand
AmF
I lay it all on the line now to see God save my friend
DmAmG
Let my life and my words be the proof
AmFGEm
Im gonna love you with the truth
AmFGEm
Gonna love you with the truth
Verse 2:
AmF
Yes, God is love, but God is just
GEm
And we are separated in our darkness
AmF
So God let Him who knew no sin
GEm
To become sin to make us right with Him
AmF
Its not about religion or earning Gods forgiveness
GEm
Or magic prayers or new behavior
AmF
Its all about your heart, Hell meet you where you are
GEm
Turn from your sin and trust in Christ as Lord
DmAmG
Jesus is the truth, the life, the way
Chorus:
AmG
When we love, we earn the right to speak the truth
DmAm
When we speak truth, we show the world we truly love
CG
Im not pointing my finger, Im holding out my hand
AmF
I lay it all on the line now to see God save my friend
DmAmG
Let my life and my words be the proof
AmFGEm
Im gonna love you with the truth
AmFGEm
Gonna love you with the truth
Bridge:
DmAmCG
How Ive prayed for this moment, that you would finally see
DmAmCG
That God is more than religion, a stained-glass fantasy
DmAmCG
And how Ive prayed for the courage, for my silent faith to speak
DmAmCG
Or that God would just send you a better friend than me
Chorus:
AmG
When we love, we earn the right to speak the truth
DmAm
When we speak truth, we show the world we truly love
CG
Im not pointing my finger, Im holding out my hand
AmF
I lay it all on the line now to see God save my friend
DmAmG
Let my life and my words be the proof
AmFGEm
Im gonna love you with the truth
AmFGEm
Gonna love you with the truth
End:
AmFGEm
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhh
AmF
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhh
