Experience

Lyrics

Yes! 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 its 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 To 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, no, no...
