the whole truth

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

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

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
