    Behind The Song: Matthew West Shares The Heart Behind His Song “Truth Be Told”

    By Abby Young | Christian News | 0 comment | 5 January, 2021 | 2

    This week’s featured song story comes to us from Matthew West. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his song “Truth Be Told.”

    “I wrote ‘Truth Be Told’ because I don’t want to be a professional Christian anymore. I wanna be the first person who says ‘You know what? I’ve got some messes and I’m going to dare to believe that there’s a God who loves me anyway. And I’m going to dare to believe that there’s some other Christians who would love me anyway even if they knew that I was less than perfect.’ So I’m putting it out there, truth be told and I hope you will too. Be honest, be vulnerable and trust that the Lord is never going to leave your side.” – Matthew West

    “Truth Be Told” Lyrics

    Truth Be Told
    Lie number 1 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 2 everybody’s life is perfect except yours
    So keep your messes and your wounds and your secrets safe with you behind closed doors

    Truth be told
    The truth is rarely 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

    There’s a sign on the door saying “come as you are” but I doubt it
    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 and the sinner and and sick and the scarred and the prodigal

    Truth be told
    The truth is rarely told
    Am I the only one who says…

    Can I really stand here unashamed
    And know that you love for me won’t change
    Oh God If that’s really true
    Then let the Truth Be Told
