FRANCESCA BATTISTELLI If We're Honest

https://youtu.be/lDcTvtuuVU8

Truth is harder than a lie

The dark seems safer than the light

And everyone has a heart that loves to hide

I'm a mess and so are you

We've built walls nobody can get through

Yeah, it may be hard, but the best thing we could ever do, ever do

[Chorus:]

Bring your brokenness, and I'll bring mine

'Cause love can heal what hurt divides

And mercy's waiting on the other side

If we're honest

If we're honest

Don't pretend to be something that you're not

Living life afraid of getting caught

There is freedom found when we lay 

our secrets down at the cross, at the cross

[Chorus]

It would change our lives

It would set us free

It's what we need to be

[Chorus]

Sentence Prayer

I confess to almighty God,

and to you, my brothers and sisters,

that I have sinned through my own fault,

in my thoughts and in my words,

in what I have done,

and in what I’ve failed to do;

and I ask you, my brothers and sisters,

 To pray for me to the Lord our God

Rebuke me, O Lord, but not in your anger, lest I come to nothing.

Lord, have mercy.  Christ, have mercy.  Lord, have mercy.  Amen
