Living Lyrically Teresa Lynn Johnson: I WON'T LIE FOR YOU

I WON'T LIE FOR YOU

I’m sitting down here by the water

You’re somewhere on a distant shore

You want me to fight your battles

But won’t explain what caused the war

I can’t walk on this water

And deliver you from pain

I will not bear false witness

When you cannot prove your claim

How am I supposed to help you

What service can I hope to lend

You are but a stranger

God would have me call a friend

But friends don’t keep such secrets

From each other and their God

You’re hiding something from me

And I am anything but a fraud

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I am not a fraud

I am a woman of God

And I won’t lie for you

I Pray as a giving soul

Combine pieces, to make whole

The broken and confused

But I won’t lie for you

~~*~~

You know enough about me

To know I would do anything

Within my power to help you

Without compromising me

God is ever present

A friend wouldn't ask me to

Cause Him disappointment

By trying to bend the truth

Won’t turn my back... on this shore

And I won’t walk away

You need something from me

I will be your Friend and Pray

But…
