the saying goes the truth shall set you free
truth was designed for freedom
and there is no freedom that comes w/ out change
whether it be mental, emotional, physical, or all of the above
once you realize it is there, it engulfs you like a glove
no matter how much you fight it, you can push and you can shove
but the truth shall set you free
truth starts in the heart
whether or not we adhere to it, it’s a sincere belief
accepting it means change and ignoring it causes grief
and from this we have the ability to depart
but we find comfort in the familiar
and though change feels like it will kill us
it wont
I hear that resounding voice in my head saying change
James change
But I don’t
Its not that I wont
Or That I can’t
Its that I don’t
you know when you feel truth from the core of your soul,
it is resounding
you feel that feeling in your veins and your heart is pounding
and no matter how much I resist and persist
that I am just fine
I’m lying
This truth that I feel is so real it wakes me up at night
But I still fight and I can’t even tell you why
Fighting this change makes my spirit cry
And I sigh
When God asks me why
I wont change
And as my eye wells fill w/ deceit
The obvious races from my face and gathers at my feet
I speak and repeat the same lie
And again, myself, I defeat
See our untruths are simply untrue
No matter how I word it
How often I rehearse and reverb
The way I am running from this truth is simply absurd and
I’m running blind trying to read the signs of my faith
I keep asking god for an expiration date on his grace
And I am sure he has answered me time and time again
But I’m deaf trying to read this Braille book called life
So right now, if I am being honest about the truth
I have absolutely no idea what to do
I am not sure if I can fit this shoe
I read even when I don’t comprehend
I stare at the pages even when I don’t understand
Truth will only ask for so long before it demands
And it drags you into change w/ bound hands
There is pain in change
No matter how you flip and rearrange
the variables may change but still equates to the same rain
Nothing worth having is just attained in passing
In finding life’s balance on a beam that’s inches thick and miles long
Its impossible to prepare for everything that could go wrong
There’s so much to gain from the truth in change
I balance out my weak moments by serving a god that is strong
And covers me like a steel umbrella in an emotional hailstorm
I find freedom from the gospel of truth
We were born for truth
and life is about growth
We have to change before lack of it changes you.
And from experience I speak to you
And if truth is seeking you
Then your change is inevitable
Just like truth is indelible
Truth like ourselves is something we can never run from
Whether we like it or not a change is gonna come
