Verse 1:
I knew your claims were solid, your exhortations sure
The story that you told me, no sane man would ignore
Your plot it flowed so flawlessly, your narrative was clear
But when you lived the story, it found its way in here
Chorus:
You lived the story, the words broke through to me
But when you lived
You lived the story, these blinded eyes could see
But when you lived
You lived the story, my heart was opened wide
and when you lived
You lived the story, I’m now at Jesus’ side
And because you lived
Verse 2:
You stood behind the pulpit, and boldness filled your voice
Your confidence unshakeable, I felt the tug of choice
Then Monday I saw you show love to a stranger on the street
The tug of war was over, here I am at Jesus feet
Verse 3:
Oh friend you may be eloquent, impeccable your dress
Your logic may be flawless, your smile it may impress
But get this in your heart and mind, it can not be denied
Your words are more convincing when you match them with your life
