We think no one knows
We think no one sees
But these are the lies
That trap you and me
He who made eyes,
He who made ears
Can see all we do
And Oh! He hears!
He reads our minds
He knows our hearts,
Deceit is not in him
He’s pure from the start.
Do we think He’s silent,
So we can sin more?
No! He weeps, standing,
At our heart’s door.
Repent?
Who needs that!?
It’s such an old word.
What have we done?
What have you heard?
Judge me no more
I’m better than most!
These are the words,
Some dark hearts boast
Pray for a breakthrough!
Do more than coast!
Bring on conviction
Dear Holy Ghost!
