from the songs album The Whole Truth (1994)
Words & music by doyle tallent, becky thurman & geoff thurman
Now and then i must admit
I hide behind my shallowness
I must confess i don't begin to say enough
I'll tell you of my lessons learned
But i may never quite express
That god blessed me far beyond
What i deserve
I often miss the chance to show my
Faith in him
By failing to convey what i have seen
And then i wonder while i face eternity
How jesus ever finds a way to intercede
For me
(chorus)
What's he gonna say about me
When he weighs the works that
I have done
Against the words that i have
Failed to speak
What's he gonna say about me
When the chaff is sifted from the wheat
Will there be evidence that i believed
What's he gonna say about me
After this lifetime will come
The thankfulness that i forget
I will regret when i see clearly who he is
Then i'll know all i should have said
So i must choose to not neglect
But resurrect the praise for all he is to me
I often miss the chance to show my faith in him
By failing to convey what i have seen
And then i wonder while i face eternity
How jesus ever finds a way to intercede
For me, oh
(repeat chorus)
If i confess him before men
He will confess me before the
Father in heaven
(repeat chorus)
