Teaching The Truth In Love

Are we teaching the truth in love

Telling it like it is

While holding pure motives

And showing that we care

Are we teaching the truth in love

A man came to my Jesus

Telling all that he had done

To fulfill the good commandments

He knew every single one

But Jesus said there's something

That indeed he did lack

Yes the savior told the truth

He didn't hold the message back

(Because)

He was teaching the truth in love

Telling it like it is

While holding pure motives

And showing that He cares

He was teaching the truth in love

A woman caught in evil and without an alibi

The truth, so very obvious, made no attempt to lie

With all the foes against her how she felt so all alone

Until Jesus asked the people who would throw the first stone

Teaching the truth in love

Telling it like it is

While holding pure motives

And showing that He can

He was teaching the truth in love

Sometimes it's hard to know exactly how we are to share

With our Master's words of confidence, directly

Do we dare?

Should we water down the message

Should we tell them only parts?

Will they see Him in our message

Will they see Him in our heart?

Are we teaching the truth in love

Telling it like it is

While holding pure motives

And showing that we care

Are we teaching the truth in love

Are we teaching the truth in love

Telling it like it is

While holding pure motives

And showing that we care

Are we teaching the truth in love

We're teaching the truth in love

Give Him the peace of His Love

Yes in love, oh, yes, in

We're talking, we're talking love

Oh, in love, yeah
