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 would find
Everything you need in love of another kind
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 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
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
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
Stop using fear to hide behind
God's love is enough for
you and it's waiting, if you only knew
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 would find
Everything you need in love of another kind
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 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
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
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
Stop using fear to hide behind
God's love is enough for
you and it's waiting, if you only knew
