"Have they gone?"
"Can I take it off now?"
It weighs a tonne, this mask that I wear
It's the only way I know, to hide what I see
Just so I don't have to face me
================&&&&&====================
I had visions of perfection, doing all things right
I shouldn't let the side down
Mustn't give a bad impression of the team
Everyone else, seems to be doing better than me
At least so it seems
It is hard to tell who is wearing one like me
================&&&&&====================
I could not afford to be me, a price to high to pay
All those tongues wagging and the disapproving looks
From those who had this whole thing, down to a "T"
It was clear to all concerned, that I hadn't done enough
More prayer, more fasting, more works to perform
Would surely soon put me right
================&&&&&====================
Disappointment lingers on inside
I'm not who they want me to be
So I sport this false accessory
At least I fit in, as longs as I'm not alone with me
The Word tells me, I possess perfection
But to manifest it, I cannot fathom
================&&&&&====================
In desperation, I ran to the new contract
To read between the lines
Like shafts of light, the truth flooded my soul
Showed me the error of my thoughts
The shame inside had come from
Seeking the living amongst the dead
================&&&&&====================
My actions showed, me who I was
A memory of who I used to be
The Word showed me who I am
A reflection of Christ in me
================&&&&&====================
The face I tried to hide, was that of Christ
The one at work in me
Now my hands are free
To hold up the mirror of His Word
For others to see Him too
================&&&&&====================
The more I look, the more I see
Till I know who I really am
Then and only then can my actions fall in line
With the reality at large within
================&&&&&====================
A human being, not a human doing
Hence I know, I am, so I do
O what Liberty, I have
From the truth that has set me free
Free to be Me!!
================&&&&&====================
