Tenth Avenue North's song 'The Truth Is Who You Are' reflects on the challenge of moving beyond intellectual belief to a living, personal encounter with Jesus. The lyrics acknowledge that faith is more than agreeing with facts; it requires a transformed heart. The song emphasizes that Jesus came to restore humanity, soften hardened hearts, and reveal that truth is found in His very being. It also references the sacramental imagery of bread and wine, pointing to Emmanuel, God with us. Ultimately, the song calls listeners to experience God's grace and truth personally, not just to talk about it.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
It would be easier if You were just a thought in my head
Simply something that I once read
A belief needing my defense
And it would be easier if You were something I once knew
A hope just to hold on
But You're holding out Your hands
You came to take us back to the start
You came to touch the hardness of our hearts
You gave us truth that truth is who You are
It's who You are
And it's not enough to just say, "I believe"
'Cause truth is that talk is cheap
So grace give me eyes to see
You came to take us back to the start
You came to touch the hardness of our hearts
You gave us truth that truth is who You are
It's who You are
Flesh and blood You offer us
Oh, to eat the bread and drink the cup
Oh, to taste, to see, to feel, to touch
Emmanuel, God with us
Emmanuel, God with us
'Cause You came to break the chains apart
To wake the dead and the sleeping of our hearts
You gave us truth that truth is who You are
It's who You are
It's who You are
It's who You are
