Lyrics Kirk Franklin

Kirk Franklin

True Story

She's a small town woman

In a big time world

She's a mother and a father

To one boy three girls

She got her grandma's Bible

Next to the bills and her purse

With no more options

She drops her knees in the dirt

(She says)

Lord, please help me

I'm lost, don't leave

I've tried and tried but this one thing

...

Now the only thing I wanna do

Is everything that tore my heart in two

I give it all to You

All I want is You

It's funny everything you thought you knew

Changes when you think your life is through

And your days are few

Now what do you do?

Everything has changed

Now I know that grace is amazing

...

(True story)

It's been since last August

No job in sight

He's now across the water

Another war to fight

He's made a lot of mistakes but

He wanna make things right

When he comes back home from battle

Another boy got shot last night

(He said)

Lord, please help me

I'm lost, don't leave

I've tried and tried but this one thing

...

Now the only thing I wanna do

Is everything that tore my heart in two

I give it all to You

All I want is You

It's funny everything you thought you knew

Changes when you think your life is through

And your days are few

Now what do you do?

(True story)

Everything has changed

Now I know that grace is amazing

...

(She said)

We put a lot of miles on this heart

The only thing I wanted from the start is to please You

To chase You

(And he said)

We put a lot of miles on this heart

The only thing I wanted from the start is to please You

We're running after You

(Every day we say)

Lord, please help me

I'm lost, don't leave

I've tried and tried but this one thing

...

(This is my story)

Now the only thing I wanna do

Is everything that tore my heart in two

I give it all to You

All I want is You

It's funny everything you thought you knew

Changes when you think your life is through

And your days are few

Now what do you do?

Now the only thing I wanna do

Is everything that tore my heart in two

I give it all to You

All I want is You

It's funny everything you thought you knew

Changes when you think your life is through

And your days are few

Now what do you do?

(Let's ride)

...

See it's a true story to me

How grace is amazing

It's amazing

See I don't know where I would be

Without grace amazing

It's amazing

(It's not over)
