There was a time, when I thought to say
One word of truth to you would be the death of me.
But now I see, as time goes by, That there really is no other way to be.
The more truth I speak, the more I ache,
Yet I do it willingly for your sake.
But can you stay with the pain of knowing a man?
Could you stay with a man lost in his sin?
If you can stay with this man wherever he would be.
Then the time will come when God will set you free.
We sat across a pub table
When down to Soho we had strayed.
You said you’d rather face bad feelings than be lied to in any way.
The words were sealed with a loving kiss,
But did you ever think it would come to this?
So can you stay with the pain of knowing a man?
Could you stay with a man lost in his sin?
If you can stay with this man wherever he would be.
Then the time will come when God will set you free.
So we need to ask a question, which is
“Where do we go from here?”
I know you want to run away, letting go to me is your fear.
Nothing left to say, all words I’ve tried,
I can’t make you want to be by my side.
But will you stay with the pain of knowing a man?
Could you stay with a man lost in his sin?
If you can stay with this man wherever he must be.
Then the time will come when God will set you free. Set you free. Set you free. Set you free.
