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
