Living Lies
Living Lies
College football on Saturday; friends and ice cold beer
A round of shots for all my friends; the crowd erupts with cheers
And all the games watched that day; were chased with spicy hot wings
And haughty talk from vulgar mouths; of what next season brings
And what about those Sunday morns; when these saints have seen no wrong
It’s hallelujah and amen; praise the Lord and so on
Then I realized that that was me; living the worldly life
But not until my secrets revealed; and the truth cut like a knife
O my Lord, what have I done; to bring such pain to another’s soul
Pretending that I was O so godly; with a heart that beats so cold
Away to the altar I find myself; repenting for a life of ruse
Asking forgiveness for the lies I’ve lived; and the loving kindness I abuse
I haven’t seen her to this day; some say they think she died
All I know is my life was changed; when I saw the pain in her eyes
I remembered praying to a merciful God; praying Christ’s blood on my deeds
Finally realizing for the first time; it’s hard to fall from your knees
Now its college football on Saturday; friends and cold ice tea
The opportunity to witness to folks; makes a heart jump with glee
And all the games watched that day; are chased with spicy hot wings
And wonderful talk of a Savior’s love; and the mercy that only God brings
Sober by the grace of God: 1,111 days

This is so wonderful! We all live double lives, we act as the world act in sin and then in Church there is no one holy than us. Thank you brother for showing us the true face we have. We are no more than hypocrites.
