I need you right now oh
Oh God I don't want to lose you
But I am so confused
I have been so abused
But I'll cling to you
Cling to you
Help
Please Jesus won't you tell me the truth
Because I don't know what to do
Please Jesus won't you tell me the truth
Because I don't know what to do
Free

That I'm Free
Oh that I'm Free
Help
Please Jesus won't you tell me the truth
Because I don't know what to do
Please Jesus won't you tell me the truth
Because I don't know what to do
God I need you now
Pick me up off the ground
Father you are all that I have
Help
Please Jesus won't you tell me the truth
Because I don't know what to do
Please Jesus won't you tell me the truth
Because I don't know what to do
Jesus won't you tell me the truth
Because I don't know what you to do




Please Jesus won't you tell me the truth
Because I don't know what you to do

LYRICS:

The truth is that I never shook my shadow
And every day it's trying to trick me into doing battle
Calling out "faker" only get me rattled
Want to pull me back behind the fence with the cattle
Building your lenses
Digging your trenches
Put me on the front line
Leave me with a dumb mind
With no defenses
But your defenseless

If you can't stand to feel the pain then you are senseless
Since this
I've grown up some
Different kind of fighter
And when the darkness come let it inside you
Your darkness is shining
My darkness is shining
Have faith in myself
Truth

I've seen a million numbered doors on the horizon
Now which is the future you choosin' before you gone dying?
I'll tell you 'bout a secret I've been undermining
Every little lie in this world come from dividing
Say you're my lover, say you're my homie
Tilt my chin back, slit my throat, take a bath in my blood, get to know me
All out of my secrets
All my enemies are turning into my teachers
Because, lights blinding, no way dividing what's yours or mine when everything's shining
You darkness is shining, my darkness is shining
Have faith in ourselves
Truth

Yes, I'm only loving, only trying to only love
That's what I'm trying to do is only loving
Yes, I'm only loving, trying only loving, I swear to God
I'm only trying to do the loving
Yes, I'm only lonely, I've been missing all my feeling
Only loving, only loving
You say it ain't loving ain't loving my loving my loving
But I'm only loving, swear only loving, swear to God I'm only loving
Trying only loving, only loving, only loving, only loving, only loving
Yes, I'm only loving, swear only loving, swear to God I'm only loving, only loving
See, I'm only loving, loving, loving, loving, loving my love
But I'm only loving, loving, loving, loving the truth

Truth

Faada Freddy did an amazing cover of this as well. That said, I see this lyric all the time:

Building your lenses

Digging your trenches
Put me on the front line
...

Building your "lenses" doesn't make any sense. To me, it sounds like he is saying: "Building your lances". This part of the song is seems to be analogous with war, the talk about digging trenches, being put on the front line... lances makes the most sense unless there is some element of this I'm not understanding.
