Lyrics
[Intro]
“Alright Dirty Black Ink. Chloe, lil cuz, u’re up too. Tear this track up!”
[Music Intro]
[Verse 1]
Is it true that You bled for me, died for me, opened up the blind man’s eyes to see.
[Verse 1]
Is it true that You give me strength when I feel weak, You carry my weight when I am about to sink. Is it true that if I wholeheartedly seek after You, You will give me newness in life, where I don’t have go through this pain and strife.
[Hook]
Known and True (Ohh OOOO)
Tell me what u gon’ do (Ohh ooh)
Got the Ruah leading me got this Fire got my crew. I’m speaking real loud, tell me what chew gon do… When we (oooh, ooh, oooo, oooooh) And we (ooooh, oh, ooh, ooooo) Known and True, Known and True
[Verse 2]
Is it true that the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Is it true that in times of trouble I can always call upon You, and you will always be there, with open arms showing me that you care. Is it true For whosoever calls upon the name of Yahushua shall be saved, is it because You were raised on the third day our lives are no longer enslaved.
[Hook]
Known and True (Ohh OOOO)
Tell me what u gonna do (Ohh ooh)
Got the Ruah leading me got this Fire got my crew. I’m speaking real loud, tell me what chew gon do… When we (oooh, ooh, oooo, oooooh) And we (ooooh, oh, ooh, ooooo) Known and True, Known and True
[Rap Verse in 2 part mixed harmony]
Cooler than a polar bear toenail, but You thawed me out the freeze,
Had me walkin’ through the wilderness, branches scratchin’ up my knees.
But You parted all the brambles, made a runway through the trees,
Now I’m steppin’ with precision like I’m marchin’ with the malakim.
I was tangled in my trauma, You untwisted every knot,
Turned my burdens into lessons, turned my losses into plot.
Now I’m movin’ with momentum, ain’t no way I’m getting’ caught,
When the Dalet is the doorway and the Dabar hit the spot.
I’m a vessel with a vision, You done patched me where I cracked,
Put the armor on my Ruah , now I’m never lookin’ back.
If u’re for me, who’s against me? Let ‘em try to counteract —
Protected in the Name, Yahushua even on this track.
Got the Ruah Ha'Qodesh in my bloodstream, holy fire in my chest,
You the compass in confusion, You the calm when I’m distressed.
Known & True — that’s the banner, that’s the oath that I profess,
You the Way, You the Life, You the Truth — nothing less.
[Bridge]
Is it true that You are The Way (Derekh), The Truth (Emet), and Life (Hai) that You have been my sacrifice. Is it true that the Dabar (Word) is alive and active sharper than any double-edged sword, that You are the Author and Finisher of our Emunah (Faith), You are The Dalet (Door).
[Outro]
I know this to be true that You bled for me because You love me conditionally, it is by your Dabar (Word) that You set this captive free from his adversity. I know this to be true that if I call upon You, You will attach this broken vessel, MarYa you are my only breakthrough. I know this to be true if You are for us, who can be against us, all You want is for us to love and trust in You This is what is Known and True
[Hook/Outro]
Known and True (Ohh OOOO)
Tell me what u gonna do (Ohh ooh)
Got the Ruah leading me got this Fire got my crew. I’m speaking real loud, tell me what chew gon do… When we (oooh, ooh, oooo, oooooh) And we (ooooh, oh, ooh, ooooo) Known and True, Known and True
“We speak the blessing of Shalum (Peace) over u and ur house! Amein!”
