We can only possess what we experience,
We can only possess what we experience,
Truth, to be understood, must be lived,
We can only possess what we experience.
There is a difference, a qualitative difference, between what I know as a fact and what I know as truth,
It stands as a great divide to separate my thinking from when I'm thinking foolishly and when I've understood,
The facts of theology can be altogether cold: though true in every way, they alone can't change me,
Truth is creative, transforming and alive,
It's truth that keeps me humble, saved and set free,
It's the truth that keeps me humble, saved and set free.
We can only possess what we experience,
We can only possess what we experience.
Straight up honesty, that's my obligation - that's the point when I obey the truth without hesitation,
When faith gains consent of my stubborn will and makes the irreversible commitment real to the Jesus of my journey, to the Christ of crucifixion,
Resurrection and redemption to the Father of mercy, to the God of all comfort,
Then, and only then...
Then, and only then...
Then, and only then truth begins it's saving and illuminating work within my heart...and not a moment sooner,
Not one moment sooner,
Not a moment sooner,
Not one moment sooner.
We can only possess what we experience,
We can only possess what we experience,
Truth, to be understood, must be lived,
We can only possess what we experience.
If there be no sympathy there can be no understanding,
You must surrender to the truth to really understand it,
If there be no sympathy there can be no understanding,
You must surrender to the truth to really understand it.
Whoa, look at me, my opinion slipped out,
But I'm under obligation, without hesitation, to speak the truth in love,
Speak the truth in love,
Somebody said, "Opinion is the queen on the world,"
But I believe this goes way beyond opinion,
I say, "Crown this one king, come on, crown this one king, come on, crown this one king,"
Baby, where I come from that's a bold, bold statement,
But I ain't no company man, well, I ain't no company man,
No, I ain't no company man, well, I ain't no company man,
You can respect that, can't ya?
We can only possess what we experience,
We can only possess what we experience,
Truth, to be understood, must be lived,
We can only possess what we experience,
We can only possess what we experience,
We can only possess what we experience,
Truth, to be understood, must be lived,
We can only possess what we experience.
If there be no sympathy there can be no understanding,
You must surrender to the truth, really understand it,
If there be no sympathy there can be no understanding,
If there be no sympathy there can be no...be no...be no understanding,
