Am                   F
For the longest time, I believed the lie
                  G            Em
That Im not a strong enough believer
             Am                      F
To be the friend that can take your hand
      G                   Em
And lead you straight to Jesus
                      Am                          F
Im waiting on the preachers, singers, and the teachers
                G             Em
To string the perfect words together
                  Am                    F
But every single time I have to say goodbye
          G                Em
I wonder will this be the last time

        Dm                Am             G
I cant call myself your friend and walk away


Chorus:  
         Am                                    G
When we love, we earn the right to speak the truth
               Dm                                Am
When we speak truth, we show the world we truly love
                     C                        G
Im not pointing my finger, Im holding out my hand
                     Am                          F
I lay it all on the line now to see God save my friend

        Dm          Am           G
Let my life and my words be the proof
                                 Am   F   G    Em
Im gonna love you with the truth
                              Am    F   G   Em
Gonna love you with the truth


Verse 2:
             Am               F
Yes, God is love, but God is just
             G                 Em
And we are separated in our darkness
           Am               F
So God let Him who knew no sin
           G              Em
To become sin to make us right with Him
                 Am                       F
Its not about religion or earning Gods forgiveness
           G               Em
Or magic prayers or new behavior
                    Am                             F
Its all about your heart, Hell meet you where you are
                G                 Em
Turn from your sin and trust in Christ as Lord


 Dm            Am                  G
Jesus is the truth, the life, the way

Chorus:
          Am                                   G
When we love, we earn the right to speak the truth
               Dm                                Am
When we speak truth, we show the world we truly love
                     C                        G
Im not pointing my finger, Im holding out my hand
                     Am                          F
I lay it all on the line now to see God save my friend

        Dm          Am            G
Let my life and my words be the proof
                                 Am   F   G    Em
Im gonna love you with the truth
                                 Am    F   G   Em
Gonna love you with the truth

Bridge:
Dm        Am                     C              G
How Ive prayed for this moment, that you would finally see
Dm           Am                 C                G
That God is more than religion, a stained-glass fantasy
Dm            Am                    C              G
And how Ive prayed for the courage, for my silent faith to speak
Dm      Am                      C         G
Or that God would just send you a better friend than me

Chorus:
         Am                                    G
When we love, we earn the right to speak the truth
                Dm                               Am
When we speak truth, we show the world we truly love
                     C                        G
Im not pointing my finger, Im holding out my hand
                     Am                           F
I lay it all on the line now to see God save my friend

        Dm          Am            G
Let my life and my words be the proof
                                 Am   F   G    Em
Im gonna love you with the truth
                                 Am    F   G   Em
Gonna love you with the truth

End:
