The Truth

They called you a failure, they called you a lose 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 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 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 That's 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 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 Written by Alisa Girard (c)2001 Birdwing Music / ASCAP / Admin. by EMI Christian Music Publishing
