Lyrics
I try to pray but the words aren’t coming out the way they used to
Did I lose my faith God do I still trust You (mmm)
I try to worship but when I lift my hands it all just feels so empty
Is it the heavy of the world or is it just me (mmm)
Though I’ve sung a thousand times
You’re perfect and You’ll never leave leave my side
Can I be honest
I just wanna know that You still got this
When all I’m holding onto is a promise
God You promised
That You’ll never leave me
When I’m scared of the dark You’re right there with me
Your kindness never fails, it’s always reaching after me
But right now, God all I need
Is to be honest
Oh I’ve heard stories of you showing up when it was least expected
Every time you prove your timing always perfect – and the wait was worth it
Again and again and again – see your power coming through
You bring life to what is dead – no there’s nothing You can’t do
I believe you did it then – so won’t You do it now
Can I be honest
I just wanna know that You still got this
When all I’m holding onto is a promise
God You promised
That You’ll never leave me
When I’m scared of the dark You’re right there with me
Your kindness never fails, it’s always reaching after me
But right now, God all I need
Is to be honest
Is Your breath when I can’t breathe
Your eyes when I can’t see
An anchor as the waves crash all around
Be my heart when I can’t feel
And show me something real
Just one taste of heaven here and now
Can I be honest
Can I be honest
I just wanna know that You still got this
When all I’m holding onto is a promise
God you promised
That you’ll never leave me
When I’m scared of the dark You’re right there with me
Your kindness never fails, it’s always reaching after me
But right now, God all I need
But right now, God all I need
Lyric Video
Story Behind The Song
“Honest” by Leanna Crawford is a raw and beautiful confession set to song, inviting you to bring their real, unfiltered hearts before God. In this track, Leanna steps into that vulnerable place many of us know well — when prayer feels empty, worship feels heavy, and faith feels fragile — and simply asks God, “Can I be honest?” Rather than offering polished platitudes, the song models what true faith looks like: transparency, struggle, and trust in God’s promises even when we don’t feel strong.
What makes this song so powerful is its reminder that God doesn’t want our perfection — He wants our presence. “Honest” meets you in the mundane and the messy, reassuring us that God’s kindness never fails and that He is with us even in our doubts, fears, and questions. It’s a deeply encouraging anthem for anyone who’s ever wondered if God still has it when life feels overwhelming — and a reminder that honesty with God isn’t weakness, but worship.
