I know it seems no one wants to hear the truth

Like the sick running from the cure

Just remember you’ve got nothing here to proof

Love and hope will always endure

Stand up tall and trust in God that He’ll tell you wat to say

Cause you might not get a chance like this another day

 

So tell it like it is don’t be ashamed

Speak the truth in Jesus’ name

There’s no opportunity you can affort to miss

So tell it like it is now don’t be shy

Take a stand and testify

Go into your world and tell it tell it like it is

 

Understand that they might turn and walk away

It’s a chance that you can’t deny

Though they criticize don’t worry what they say

Its for love that you’d have to try

You might never see the seed you planted going to life and grow

Just remember Jesus only said that you’ve got to go

 

So tell it like it is don’t be ashamed

Speak the truth in Jesus’ name

There’s no opportunity you can affort to miss

So tell it like it is now don’t be shy

Take a stand and testify

Go into your world and tell it tell it like it is

 

You’ve got good news slipping inside

It’s a bright shining light that you can’t hide

 

So tell it like it is don’t be ashamed

Speak the truth in Jesus’ name

There’s no opportunity you can affort to miss

So tell it like it is now don’t be shy

Take a stand and testify

Go into your world and tell it tell it like it is
