Honest.

  • I have struggled for the words this past week. I’ve felt sad, angry, confused, sickened, but more than anything I’ve just felt helpless. Yesterday I posted a black square to show that I was taking a day to reflect, pray, and pause. I stayed off social media and spent time asking God for the eyes to see what is going on and how I can represent the Kingdom in the middle of so much hurt. I found myself reading articles, watching videos, listening to interviews and seeking God’s word on how I can be an ally to hope. Then I came across this scripture:
    “So stop telling lies. Let us tell our neighbors the truth, for we are all parts of the same body.”
    Ephesians 4:25
    It stopped me in my tracks. I was born and raised in the south and have seen the cruelty and the disgusting effects of racism first hand. I’ve never used racial slurs, never hated someone because of their skin color, never tried to punish someone because of their race or tried treating someone different because of the side of the tracks they grew up on. But there have been times that I’ve been silent when I should’ve spoken up. I’ve looked the other way when others have been in pain. I’ve made a few posts, felt hurt for my hurt friends, but I feel guilty because I could’ve done more.
    Yesterday, I told God “If I’m honest, I don’t know where to start.” And then I pulled out my guitar and re-wrote the words to a song I wrote with friends a few years ago.
    This is my apology and my promise to my black friends. I know that we might have to have hard conversations. I know this won’t be easy. I know it might hurt as we find out how to love each other and find peace for us all. But I’m here with you. There are parts of the Body of Christ that are hurting and I want to see God heal all of this together. And that’s the honest truth.
    _________________________
    HONEST
    Tyler, Jackson, Silverberg
    V1
    If I’m honest
    I don’t know where to start
    I can’t feel all your pain
    Even though it hurts my heart
    I can’t walk in your shoes
    But I can walk with you
    And try to understand
    CHORUS
    (That) if we’re gonna be honest
    If we’re really gonna see this through
    It’s probably gonna hurt us
    But I’m gonna stand by you
    So here I am
    All of me
    Ready to see what you see
    We may never be perfect
    But I wanna be honest
    V2
    I am guilty
    I’ve looked the other way
    I’ve given into the lie
    That we should fear all this hate
    But when I close my eyes
    It only hides the light
    That we were meant to shine
    CHORUS
    (So) if we’re gonna be honest
    If we’re really gonna see this through
    It’s probably gonna hurt us
    But I’m gonna stand by you
    So here I am
    All of me
    Ready to see what you see
    We may never be perfect
    But I wanna be honest
    BRIDGE
    And if I’m honest
    I know it won’t be easy
    And if I’m honest we can’t do this on our own
    So when this darkness rises up
    It will have to go through us
    Cause I dont want to leave you by yourself again...
    CH2
    I’m just trying to be honest
    I really want to see this through
    But I need you to help me
    To know what I can do
    So here I am
    All of me
    Ready to see what you see
    I may never be perfect
    But I wanna be honest
    We may never be perfect
    But maybe we could be honest

    I won’t forget the night that I went to the mercy me concert and Micah Tyler was there and the concert finished and he was taking pictures with fans and I got one and it was AWSOME! His music makes me feel amazing. God is using Micah Tyler in amazing ways to move people and as a 12 year old you have moved me with your music so thank you.

    I Love your Christian life you live. Your being blessed singing for the lord. You’ve influenced one of my older granddaughter for a very long time. She just became a mother two weeks ago, her and the baby had complications . (Hannah from Brandon) you’ve prayed for her before. The baby is doing great and mother will be but will take time. Knowing here she most likely will be listening to your music as she rocks the baby to sleep. Pray for America. Thank you 🙏 Granny fan now too.

    Bless you Micah! Your voice absolutely gives me the most perfect worship music to praise Jesus. He saved me LITERALLY over and over again and I know he will protect us and give us courage for this time to come. Keep up what you do as I worship every single morning to your beautiful melodies!! God bless you and your family and I pray for healing! I bought TWO tickets to your concert in Moline, IL in Nov and I’m believing for a partner! It’s been years. If there’s no one, there’s always the best one! Jesus! ❤️🙏❤️🙏
