If You Really Knew

What you don`t know can lead you to the extremes <br>Shunning help though you feel a need <br>You fear to be caught limping and you lose your place <br>And "Leaning On The Everlasting Arm"is not your taste <br>Maybe you`ve heard stories, <br>Laughed at what you saw on TV <br>Or felt disgust as He was used as an excuse for bigotry <br>But I`ve got to tell you, that`s not what it`s all about <br>`Cause the truth I know will turn you around <br><br>Chorus<br>If you really knew <br>You would change your mind <br>If you knew the God I know <br>You would have the time <br>If you take a chance, I`m sure you will find <br>Everything you need in love of another kind <br><br>I, too, have been hurt by those who claimed to show the way <br>It was crazy, their two faces like night and day <br>But you don`t stop believing `cause you once been burned <br>In everything, there`s a lesson learned <br>Man is imperfect, there is just One Perfect Soul <br>So much more loving than than one that you`ve been shown, oh <br>How long is it gonna take for you to realize? <br>I wish that you would open your eyes <br><br>Repeat Chorus <br><br>Bridge <br>I apologize to you, <br>On behalf of the untrue <br>Because the God I know would never do the things they do <br>Mercy and compassion on the right and on the left <br>Can you give anymore than your last breath? <br>Oh, too hard to see, well put your mind aside <br>And stop using fear to hide behind <br><br>Bridge 2 <br>God`s love is enough for you <br>And it`s waiting, if you only knew <br>(Repeat) <br><br>Repeat Chorus 5X, then Bridge 2 till fade
