A Song In Our Heart
TRUTH BE TOLD (a song to fill our hearts with)
Lie number one, you’re supposed to have it all together
And when they ask how you’re doing
Just smile and tell them, “Never better”
Lie number two, everybody’s life is perfect except yours
So keep your messes and your wounds
And your secrets safe with you behind closed doors
But truth be told
The truth is rarely told, now
-Matthew West, lyrics from “Truth Be Told”
Friends, listen to this song! Listen to EVERY SINGLE WORD Matthew West sings in this song! He nails it! The lyrics speak the uncomfortable truth about all of us. It’s so much easier to say, “I’m fine, yeah, I’m fine” versus being honest – being REAL. This song reminds us to come as we are because…
God KNOWS!!
He knows everything, and that’s not a bad thing. Being real is hard, but it’s what our hearts need. Check out what David has to say about this amazing truth in Psalms 139.
Psalms 139

For the choir director: A psalm of David.
1O Lord, you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
2You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.
3You see me when I travel
and when I rest at home.
You know everything I do.
4You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, Lord.
5You go before me and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too great for me to understand!
7I can never escape from your Spirit!
I can never get away from your presence!
8If I go up to heaven, you are there;
if I go down to the grave, you are there.
9If I ride the wings of the morning,
if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
10even there your hand will guide me,
and your strength will support me.
11I could ask the darkness to hide me
and the light around me to become night—
12but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.
To you the night shines as bright as day.
Darkness and light are the same to you.
13You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
15You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
16You saw me before I was born.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
before a single day had passed.
17How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.
They cannot be numbered!
18I can’t even count them;
they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up,
you are still with me!
19O God, if only you would destroy the wicked!
Get out of my life, you murderers!
20They blaspheme you;
your enemies misuse your name.
21O Lord, shouldn’t I hate those who hate you?
Shouldn’t I despise those who oppose you?
22Yes, I hate them with total hatred,
for your enemies are my enemies.
23Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
Let’s fill our hearts with this song believing…
We are all broken, but God is our SAFE PLACE! We all have truths that are hard to talk about, but being REAL is where the healing begins.
God’s love is constant, and no matter what happens in our lives we need to be honest with our Heavenly Father, because, like Philippians 4:13 reminds us – WE CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS!!
