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

Uh, 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 tryna fight hard

These ain't just lyrics but a contrite heart

Yeah, feel 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

Yeah, 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 fall whole

Uh, check my records, I got some prize they call 'em nights

I need Jesus, David's son like a holly 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 is sort

But I know I reap what I sow like Betsy Ross

Yeah, 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
