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
But I keep climbing, 'cause the diamond is crystal clear
At times, I'm quiet, I get a chair
Sit and stare, think about the ways the sin affected my fiscal year
Yeah, the tide is turning now, shifting gears
The weak is given strength in midst of tears

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, felt dead and lonely, only God knows
That Jesus came to breathe life on my dry bones
I know a lot, knowing a lot's not wrong
But now it's all about application, like the iPhone
Yeah, I got hang-ups like dial tones
Yeah, but Jesus hung up and died so
No condemnation, that's my consolation
Am I still guilty? Not a conversation

Now I just wanna proclaim it in the congregation
God is good, and Doctor Jesus got a lot of patience
Yeah, I wanna operate and take the heart palpitate and look at what the bride is shaping
God, I thank the body, 'cause y'all came behind me
When my foot slipped and I sank in the valley
Something supernatural happened when the saints rallied
My true friends held me up like a bank robbery
And that's foolproof, I can't even front like a gold tooth
I hate what I had to go through, but I love the fact that I got to know you
So, what you are witnessing now is 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 fall whole
