True Story Lyrics

She's a small town woman
In a big time world
She's a mother and a father
To one boy three girls
She got her grandma's Bible
Next to the bills and her purse
With no more options
She drops her knees in the dirt
(She says)

Lord, please help me
I'm lost, don't leave
I've tried and tried but this one thing

...
Now the only thing I wanna do
Is everything that tore my heart in two
I give it all to You
All I want is You
It's funny everything you thought you knew
Changes when you think your life is through
And your days are few
Now what do you do?
Everything has changed

Now I know that grace is amazing
...
(True story)
It's been since last August
No job in sight
He's now across the water
Another war to fight
He's made a lot of mistakes but
He wanna make things right
When he comes back home from battle

Another boy got shot last night
(He said)
Lord, please help me

I'm lost, don't leave
I've tried and tried but this one thing
...
Now the only thing I wanna do
Is everything that tore my heart in two
I give it all to You
All I want is You
It's funny everything you thought you knew
Changes when you think your life is through
And your days are few
Now what do you do?

(True story)
Everything has changed
Now I know that grace is amazing
...
(She said)
We put a lot of miles on this heart
The only thing I wanted from the start is to please You
To chase You

(And he said)
We put a lot of miles on this heart
The only thing I wanted from the start is to please You
We're running after You
(Every day we say)

Lord, please help me
I'm lost, don't leave
I've tried and tried but this one thing
...
(This is my story)
Now the only thing I wanna do
Is everything that tore my heart in two
I give it all to You

All I want is You
It's funny everything you thought you knew
Changes when you think your life is through
And your days are few
Now what do you do?
Now the only thing I wanna do
Is everything that tore my heart in two
I give it all to You

All I want is You

It's funny everything you thought you knew
Changes when you think your life is through
And your days are few
Now what do you do?
(Let's ride)
...
See it's a true story to me
How grace is amazing
It's amazing
See I don't know where I would be
Without grace amazing
It's amazing
(It's not over)

Kirk Franklin (born January 26, 1970 in Riverside, Texas) is a platinum-selling musician who blended gospel, hip hop, and R&B in the 1990s. He released his first gospel album, Kirk Franklin & Family, in 1993, and is known as the leader of contemporary gospel choirs such as Kirk Franklin & the Family, Kirk Franklin's Nu Nation, and God's Property.


A native of Fort Worth, Texas, he was raised by his aunt, Gertrude Franklin. He developed a talent for music early, playing the piano at age four and becoming music director of his church at age eleven. After getting kicked out of school in his teenaged years, having a girlfriend become pregnant, and after a friend was shot to death he returned to the church. After leading the DFW Mass Choir at the 1990 Gospel Music Workshop of America Convention, he organized "The Family", a seventeen-voice choir, in 1992 and began his recording career.

He has integrated hip hop styles with gospel themes in albums such as The Nu Nation Project and God's Property, which achieved success on the Billboard Pop Album, R&B and gospel charts.
Franklin has collaborated with the biggest names in gospel music, including Tonex, Donnie McClurkin, Richard Smallwood, Crystal Lewis, Pastor Shirley Caesar, Jaci Valesquez, and Willie Neal Johnson. He also has displayed a willingness to collaborate with artists in the secular realm, including Bono, Mary J. Blige, Crystal Lewis, and R Kelly in the hit single, "Lean on Me."

On October 4, 2005, his new long-awaited album Hero was released, with latest single Looking for You.
