The Truth

They called you a failure, they called you a lost cause
They said you would never become anything at all
A generation with no direction
But when I look in your eyes
I see the prize yet to be claimed

[Chorus]
I'll say it once, I'll say it twice
That your life was worth the price
Paid for you, paid for me
And I believe that in you and I know you'll find the truth

I know you've been broken, 'cause I've seen the abuse
I know there's a place inside your heart
Begging for truth
For a softspoken answer that won't break your spirit
And when I look in your eyes
I see the prize that's yet to be claimed

repeat chorus

But that's not what they told you
When they said that they gave up on you
And you're nothing, and you'll never be anything
I wait for the day when you'll stand up and say
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me

repeat chorus
