It's The Truth
by Dogwood

Album: After The Flood Before The Fire

I was on my way to the meetinghouse
When somethin' happened kinda strange
I was in the saddle
Thought I had to hold on to reigns
Then I turned my eyes
To some places I used to go
Last night I found myself
Knockin' on the devil's open door

Now the pain of the pleasure
That I knew last night
It seemed like it lingered
But it didn't feel right
So I said, "Lord, I can't go on
Do I have to wallow
And a-mire of my shame?"
Through the night, I prayed for truth
I'm rejoicin' 'cause today the answer came

It's the truth
My sin has made me just as good as dead
But Jesus said, "I took your place
On the cross I bore your shame and disgrace
So, child, with your face, it's all right
I heard you prayin' early in the night
I made it right, it's the truth
You don't have to suffer when you're dead"

Now tonight I'll be ridin'
Back to the meetinghouse
I'm gonna make my confession
Feels like I have to get it out
And I'll tell anybody
When they asked me
For the lesson that I learned
After I believe the truth
The guilt that comes around
Make my concern

It's the truth
My sin has made me just as good as dead
But Jesus said, "I took your place
On the cross I bore your shame and disgrace
So, child, with your face, it's all right
I heard you prayin' early in the night
I made it right, it's the truth
You don't have to suffer when you're dead"
"It's the truth
You don't have to suffer when you're dead"
