Our true character, our true nature
Deceives those we have come to know
Hiding in the dark recesses of our soul
Waiting, watching, to escape its fragile cage
Our thoughts are chained to its will
Churning our minds to its call
As we struggle to show only our noble side
Straining to contain it with a faint smile
Its voice echoes inside, crying to be set free
And when we grow weak, we give in for all to
see
Releasing it from the dark to cloud the light
Shattering the myth of our fictional selves
Perfection has been lost and hypocrisy gained
Our sin and shame tells us to run away, to hide
As we desperately try and rebuild the crumbling
wall
Sending us back into the blackness we know so
well
Only a glimmer of hope, a ray of light that stops
us
It shines through our darkness in the shape of
a cross
Telling us that there is a better side, a
better way
If only we will cry out for what has been
freely given.
Father, forgive us for we have sinned,
Let your true character and glory shine through
us!
