The Whole Truth lyrics

A rushing river sweeps around us
Just as dark and cold as night, it surrounds us
But we pass through the water to a safer shore
We're sheltered from the raging river's roar

(Chorus)
Though the night is long
And the river's strong
Still God is with us
We can stem the tide
Reach the other side
For God is with us

The river deepens, night grows darker

Words & Music by John Mandeville & Ty Lacy

Who would've known
This heart would stumble on someone
As great as you
Out of the blue
Who would've guessed
That I would fall so deep
In a hope as true
As the one I found in You
Heaven's hands
Lead me to faith's open door
I'm surrounded by a grace
This soul just can't ignore

(Chorus)
Lord, I'm Living in a love like not other

He looked through temples of time

To see you right where you stand

He emptied all of Himself

So He cuold reach out His hand
To give hope and meaning

To the wasted away

And you are one of the ones

That He was dying to save

He was dying to reach you

Trying to meet you

Where you need Him most

You've been living in search of

The whole truth and real love

Silence
Trying to fathom the distance
Looking out 'cross the canyon carved
By my hands
God is gracious
Sin would still separate us
Were it not for the bridge His grace
Has made us
His love will carry me

(Chorus)
There's a bridge to cross the great divide
A way was made to reach the other side
The mercy of the Father, cost His son
His life
His love is deep, His love is wide

Some think it all comes down to fate and circumstance

Life falls somewhere between accident and chance

Some seek solutions to the problems they face

By hoping maybe someday, somehow it will all fall in place
We keep persisting

Still something is missing

CHORUS

WITHOUT THE LOVE OF JESUS

THE STARS WOULDN'T SHINE

RIVERS WOULDN'T RUN

AND HEARTS BEAT OUT OF TIME

Sometimes we don't see eye to eye
We don't agree, we don't know why
But Jesus prayed that we'd be one
So for the sake of God's own Son
Can we put away our differences
Lay down our pride
I think it's time we start turning the tide

(Chorus)
Shall we gather at the river of forgiveness
Come together at the waters of love
Flowing like a fountain from the mercy giver

(Chorus)

God loves people more than anything
God loves people more than anything
More than anything He wants
Them to know
He'd rather die than let them go
'Cause God love people more
than anything

God loves the weary
When they're too weak to try
He feels their pain, He knows their shame
He cries with those who cry
He won't give up or walk away
When other people do

Words & music by grant cunningham & matt huesmann

A light in the distance
Welcomes those wayfaring souls
Come this far
A heart grows tired, faith grows cold
Wandering down the winding road
Just simply knock, the door will open

There is a house that mercy built
There is a place where brokenness is healed
There is a voice saying peace be still
There is a house that mercy built

Been too long chasing selfish dreams

Seeking only what my heart desired for

I drifted so far away it seems

From the truth that set my soul on fire

How many times will it take for me to see

You're the only love my heart will ever need

*Chrous*

Take me back, take me back Jesus

Take me back to where i can know your love

Take me back, take me back Jesus

Words by dave clark & shelley phillips music by john mandeville

When you’re living for the love of
A lifetime
You wonder if the waiting will ever end
And the right from the wrong
That you’ve guarded so long
Is closer that it’s ever been
But sometimes a moment of weakness
Can sacrifice the treasure of time
And cause you to miss the miracle
That God longs for you to find

Words & Music by Doyle Tallent, Becky Thurman & Geoff Thurman

Now and then I must admit

I hide behind my shallowness

I must confess I don't begin to say enough
I'll tell you of my lessons learned

But I may never quite express

That God blessed me far beyond

What I deserve

I often miss the chance to show my

Faith in Him

By failing to convey what I have seen
