Honestly (A Lament) Lyrics

I've heard the preachers preach, the choir sing

That "God is love" and "God loves me"

I've tasted and seen and I know it's true

But the lies are getting louder

Love of money, love of power

How'd it get twisted? How did we miss it

Jesus can you stand up and bring us back to love

I'm losing, I'm losing hope

Honestly, why's it so hard? To cut through the noise and

Get to the sound of Your heart? Can You hear me or not

Speak now, set it all straight

Answer, show us the way

There's a mob in the streets, guns drawn they sing

"God is love" and "God loves me"

But actions they speak louder than words

Calling on a higher power from a red, blue and ivory tower

Chasing a reaction - Where's the compassion

Jesus, why you on a flag? Doesn't this make you mad

I'm losing, I'm losing hope

Honestly, why's it so hard? To cut through the noise and

Get to the sound of Your heart? Can You hear me or not

Speak now, set it all straight

Answer, show us the way

Honestly, why's it so hard? To cut through the noise and

Get to the sound of Your heart? Can You hear me or not

Speak now, set it all straight

Answer, show us the way

The truth is a tangle and I can't untie it

A mountain too high, I cannot climb it

The widow's lost coin, I cannot find it

I believe, but help my unbelief

The truth is a tangle and I can't untie it

A mountain too high, I cannot climb it

The widow's lost coin, I cannot find it

I believe, but help my unbelief

I believe, but help my unbelief

Honestly, why's it so hard? To cut through the noise and

Get to the sound of Your heart? Can You hear me or not

Speak now, set it all straight

Answer, show us the way
