Real With U

Life's a masquerade filled with so many faces
Faces that aren't so real
Hearts that really cannot feel
The problems that I face each and every single day
Tell me that I'm not where I'm supposed to be
I remember how tight we used to be
And I want you to draw me closer to thee
Lord, I've tried to live an honest life
So why do I try to fool God's people all the time?

I just wanna be real with you
I just wanna live a life that true
I just wanna be real with you
I just wanna be real with you
I just wanna live a life that true
I just wanna be real with you

I know just what it takes
And Lord, I don't want to be fake
Cuz there's another side of me
Lord I've got to get it straight
And it is my desire to be more like you each day
But the enemy keeps trying to lead me further astray
When I come into your presence let me feel You
And when I leave the sanctuary I want to live true
Lord, I've tried to live an honest life
So why do I try to fool God's people all the time?

I just wanna be real with you
I just wanna live a life that true
I just wanna be real with you
I just wanna be real with you
I just wanna live a life that true
I just wanna be real with you

I wanna be real when I sing
I wanna be real when I preach
I wanna be real when I minister
I wanna be real with you Jesus

I wanna be real in season
I wanna be real with with you Jesus
I wanna be real not just on Sunday
God I wanna be real on Monday too

I wanna be real
I gotta be real
I've gotta be real with you Jesus
When I sing
When I preach
When I minister
Wanna be real with you
Gotta be real
Gotta be real
Gotta be real
With you Jesus

Every day of my life
I wanna walk in the light
Walk in the beautiful light
Where God's glory shines bright
I wanna be real
I've gotta be real
I've gotta be real
With you Jesus
Lord, I just wanna be real
Pray that I can be real
With my family discipline and consistency

I wanna be real
I've gotta be real
I've gotta be real
With you Lord

No more ducking and dodging
No more creeping and hiding
No more running from shadows
I'mma fight all of my battles head on
I'mma fight all of my battles head on

From this day forward
I vow to myself to keep it real
You can love it or hate it
You can love it or hate it yeah
But I'm gonna keep it real
This is not the scene for me
I wanna live authentically
Does anyone out there agree with me?

I wanna be real
I've got to be real
I've gotta be real
Real with you Jesus

Every day of my life
I wanna live my life
Pleasing before you
Pleasing before you
Ohhh...

Let the words of my mouth
And the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in thy sight
Oh Lord my strength
Oh Lord my redeemer
Oh Lord my strength
You are my redeemer yeah
I just wanna be real
I just wanna be real
Real with you
