“there’s a sign on the door, says, “Come as you are” but I doubt it
’cause if we lived like it was true, every Sunday morning pew would be crowded
but didn’t you say the church should look more like a hospital
a safe place for the sick, the sinner and the scarred and the prodigals
like me
well truth be told
the truth is rarely told…
can I really stand here unashamed
knowin’ that you love for me won’t change?
oh God if that’s really true
then let the truth be told
I say I’m fine, yeah I’m fine oh I’m fine, hey I’m fine but I’m not
I’m broken
and when it’s out of control I say it’s under control but it’s not
and you know it
I don’t know why it’s so hard to admit it
when being honest is the only way to fix it…
there’s no failure, no fall
there’s no sin you don’t already know
so let the truth be told” Matthew West 🌿

wow. this song hit me at my core.

I’m a pro at trying to act like everything is great & my life is put together. I often feel like I’m the only one who doesn’t have it all together. I try to bottle it up & hold in all my mess. I stress myself out about not doing enough to the point where eventually I break down.

He has a way of humbling us. bringing us back to Him.

a few nights ago, this song came on while I was drawing before bed. I cried. I prayed raw, real, & honest prayers, something I usually struggle with.
