Honesty
[Verse 1]
You know where I've been 'cause You were there as well
You know who I'll be before I get there
You know what's hidden, the shame behind the veil
You know the real me when I don't know myself
[Chorus]
I've tried, I've tried
To be the way the world would want me
It's time, it's time
To believe the words You wrote about me
I won't live my life
For appearance sake or masquerades
You made me to be me
So I'll live honestly
[Verse 2]
I know You're making me new day after day
Heavenly Father, Your truth will set me free
I know there's power in every word You say
So fear will not hold me and guilt is not my name
[Chorus]
I've tried, I've tried
To be the way the world would want me
It's time, it's time
To believe the words You wrote about me
I won't live my life
For appearance sake or masquerades
You made me to be me
So I'll live honestly
[Bridge]
I'll bring my heart into the open
Give You my secrets, You already know them
You love me regardless, You love me as I am
Ooh, I'll give my life, won't let it be stolen
Bring You my worship, leave no words unspoken
I love You, I love You, I love You with all I am
[Chorus]
I've tried, I've tried
To be the way the world would want me
It's time, it's time
To believe the words You wrote about me
I won't live my life
For appearance sake or masquerades
You made me to be me
So I'll live honestly
[Outro]
'Cause You made me to be me
So I'll live honestly
If You want honesty
I'll live honestly
