This week, you’ll start hearing “Honest” by Leanna Crawford
Story Behind the Song
“Hey, I’m Leanna Crawford, This song came from a place of realizing that we don’t have to have it all
together to come to God. In fact, he wants us to come to him just as we are, with our
doubts, our pain, and even the things we try to hide. One verse that really speaks to this
is Psalm 34:18 the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are
crushed in spirit. My hope and prayer is that when you hear this song, you’re reminded
that God is with you right where you are, and he loves you in the middle of your mess.” -Leanna Crawford

Lyrics to “Honest”
Lyrics
I try to pray
But the words aren’t coming out the way they used to
Did I lose my faith? God do I still trust You? (Mmm)
I try to worship
But when I lift my hands it all just feels so empty
Is it the heavy of the world? Or is it just me? (Mmm)
Though I’ve sung a thousand times
You’re perfect and You’ll never leave my side
Can I be honest?
I just wanna know that You still got this
When all I’m holding onto is a promise
God, You promised that You’ll never leave me
When I’m scared of the dark, You’re right there with me
Your kindness never fails, it’s always reaching after me
But right now, God, all I need
Is to be honest
Oh, I’ve heard stories
Of you showing up when it was least expected
Every time you prove your timing always perfect
And the wait was worth it
And again and again and again
See your power coming through
You bring life to what is dead
No, there’s nothing You can’t do
I believe you did it then
So won’t You do it now?
Can I be honest?
I just wanna know that You still got this
When all I’m holding onto is a promise
God, You promised that You’ll never leave me
When I’m scared of the dark, You’re right there with me
Your kindness never fails, it’s always reaching after me
But right now, God, all I need
Is Your breath when I can’t breathe
Your eyes when I can’t see
An anchor as the waves crash all around
Be my heart when I can’t feel
And show me something real
Just one taste of heaven here and now
Can I be honest? Ohh
Can I be honest? (Honest)
I just wanna know that You still got this (You still got this)
When all I’m holding onto is a promise
God, you promised that you’ll never leave me (you’ll never leave me)
When I’m scared of the dark, You’re right there with me
Your kindness never fails, it’s always reaching after me
But right now, God, all I need
Yeah right now, God, all I need
Is to be honest
