"If You Really Knew" Lyrics

What you don't know can lead you to the extremes
Shunning help though you feel a need
You fear to be caught limping and you lose your place
And "Leaning On The Everlasting Arms" is not your taste
Maybe you've heard those stories,
Laughed at what you saw on TV
Or felt disgust as He was used as an excuse for bigotry
But I've got to tell you, that's not what it's all about
'Cause the truth I know will turn you around

Chorus
If you really knew
You would change your mind
If you knew the God I know
You would have the time
If you take a chance, I know you will find
Everything you need in love of another kind

I, too, have been hurt by those who claimed to show the way
It was crazy, their two faces like night and day
But you don't stop believing 'cause you once been burned
In everything, there's a lesson learned
Man is imperfect, there is just One Perfect Soul
So much more loving than than one that you've been shown, oh
How long is it gonna take for you to realize?
I wish that you would open your eyes

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
I apologize to you,
On behalf of the untrue
Because the God I know would never do the things they do
Mercy and compassion on the right and on the left
Can you give anymore than your last breath?
Oh, too hard to see, well put your mind aside
And stop using fear to hide behind

Chorus X2

Bridge 2
God's love is enough for you
And it's waiting, if you only knew
(Repeat)

Bridge 2 till fade
