Pretending to be Christian won’t carry you far, A mask soon slips, revealing who you are. It drains the soul, it weakens the song, For pretense can’t hold very long.
But with Jesus within and the Spirit to guide, Your burden is lifted, with peace inside. His strength will carry, His mercy will lead, Supplying each step with the grace you need.
For pretending is false, but truth is the key, Only through Christ can the captive go free. Without His light, confusion will reign, But His truth brings hope and eternal gain.
So cast off the mask, let His love shine through, For freedom is found when His Word is true.
Jhn 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Mark C. Waldrop
