Truth Be Told

I admit I’ve heard of Matthew West but never really listened to him. In the car today we heard the song Truth Be Told. As he sang all I could do was nod my head in agreement. Some denominations pride themselves on being fishers of men. They invite people to church, and that’s great, but what happens when those people show up and their baggage is discovered?

Lyrics copied and pasted from AZLyrics. This song is from 2020

There's a sign on the door, says, "Come as you are" but I doubt it.

'Cause if we lived like that was true, every Sunday mornin' pew would be crowded.

But didn't You say church should look more like a hospital?

A safe place for the sick, the sinner and the scarred, and the prodigals, like me?

But truth be told, the truth is rarely told

Oh, am I the only one who says..."I'm fine, yeah, I'm fine, oh, I'm fine, hey, I'm fine

"But I'm not, I'm broken
