truth or consequences

Steven Curtis Chapman

The T.V. said just make sure youââ?¬â?¢re old enough,
And let your feelings tell you when itââ?¬â?¢s right.
What went wrong? She thought it was really love;
Now she wonders why she just canââ?¬â?¢t sleep at night.
She knew the rules but they were too old fashioned;
Was it worth the price she has to pay.

CHORUS
Itââ?¬â?¢s either truth or consequences, thereââ?¬â?¢s no other way;
Put truth aside, the other takes its place.
Well, you can close your eyes but that wonââ?¬â?¢t make it go away;
The truth or consequences must be faced.

The headlines say our worldââ?¬â?¢s in a lot of pain,
Hurt from all the selfishness and greed.
What went wrong? Like sheep all have gone astray;
Weââ?¬â?¢ll reap what we sow, donââ?¬â?¢t be deceived.
His truthââ?¬â?¢s been given and itââ?¬â?¢s there before us,
Written on the page and in our hearts.

(chorus)

As sure as God made the sun to shine,
He made the rules we must all live by;
He loved us too much to leave us alone
To our own devices.

(chorus)
