Casting Crowns - Love You With the Truth: chords

                 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
Im waiting on the preachers, singers,
          F
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
I lay it all on the line now to see God
          F
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

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

Chorus

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

Chorus
