Truth Be Told<\/em> <\/a>by Matthew West speaks volumes…<\/p>\nHere are the beginning lyrics:<\/p>\n
“Lie number one, you’re supposed to have it all together…And when they ask how you’re doing, just smile and tell ’em, “Never better”…<\/p>\n
Lie number two, everybody’s life is perfect except yours….So keep your messes and your wounds and your secrets safe with you behind closed doors…<\/p>\n
Truth be told, the truth is rarely told…I say, “I’m fine, yeah, I’m fine, oh, I’m fine, hey, I’m fin\u0435”<\/p>\n
But I’m not, I’m broken.<\/p>\n
And when it’s out of control, I say it’s under control…But it’s not ….and You know it<\/p>\n
I don’t know why it’s so hard to admit it-Wh\u0435n being honest is the only way to fix it-There’s no failure, no fall, there’s no sin You don’t already know…So let the truth be told.”<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tell Jesus how you feel. Rant, rave, let it out so when your loved asks, and you say “I’m fine” they will know what you mean and the truth will be told.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Blessings-<\/p>\n
