I want to tell the truth.
Not just the not-telling-lies truth,
the "See? I'm-an-honest-person" truth,
I want to speak the Truth truth.
Make me a Truth-teller because I want to talk
to glazed-over parts
passed-over parts
tucked away
shoved away
not-so-pretty parts.
Make me a Truth-teller rooting for our wholeness,
fearless against
outta-sight-outta-mind
outta-my-mind
I-can't-see-straight
you-can't-handle-this
run-for-your-life parts.
For there is a Father who see us.
He tells us the truth
and He is not dismayed.
He says, "You are lovely."
So as for my sight, I will use it like His sight.
These eyes will see scar after scar
healing after healing
despair after despair
hope after hope
and I will not be dismayed.
I will say, "You are lovely."
Because I want to tell the Truth.
Not just the not-telling-lies truth,
the "See? I'm-an-honest-person" truth,
I want to speak the TRUTH truth.
