Inside Outside

What if your eyes had high def lines streaming live video straight to your wife’s eyes
Would she be surprised?  Feel despised?  Would you wish that you had been blind?

What if those sights were displayed real time high up in the sky for all who walk by
To view, being narrated, too, by every thought running through your mind at the time
Would you try to hide? Are you living a lie?
Hoping no one will find your secret desires way down on your inside

You got them buried deep?
You might as well wear them on your sleeve
‘Cause even if no human soul ever sees
That doesn’t change the fact that you’re still guilty

When the space to pretend comes to an end will you repent or defend
Will you swallow your pride or will you deny
Claiming you tried or playing it sly
Trying to divert God’s eye by pointing your finger at some other “worse” guy

You thought you bought some time
‘Till he caught you in your crime

Red-handed
You’ve been reprimanded
Reasoning demanded
But you don’t understand that

You’re a slave, paying with pain
For every glance that you take and every picture you paint in your brain
Going ‘gainst the grain of why you were made
Feeling the strain of living life two faced
Slowly showing shame
Hoping its not too late to make a change

You want to change?
Turn around and call on his name
Stop playing that game
Start saying the same
His heart contains
Mercy for your gain
And infinite grace remains
That explains how to abstain and refrain

From living a contradiction
From looking with evil vision
From following wicked decisions then covering your condition

No more disguise when his grace arrives
His love provides
Revelation and insight
For once in your life
You’re feeling alive
Finally safe to decide
Wear your inside on the outside
