Moral Mask
Do this
Do that
Be good
You know you have to measure up
Your looks
Your weight
Your works
You know you have to measure up
I wear this moral mask
To justify myself
To prove that I'm worth something
Significant & loved
Tear off my moral mask
Oh God, it holds me back
From basking in the glory
That you would love a wretch like me
Your life
Your love
Your service
Christ, I know You measured up
Your faith
Your trust
Your worship
I know You measured up
You measure up for me
Why do I wear this moral mask
To justify myself?
To prove that I am worth something
Significant & loved
Rip off my moral mask!
Oh God, it holds me back
From understanding the reality
You really love this wretch You see
Cause when I look into the mirror
My heart fills with lies
"How could anyone love me
When I am so despised?"
Then my eyes are lifted up
They're pointed to the skies
I am not loved for my own merits
But for the sake of Christ!
Don't wear the moral mask
You can't justify yourself
Jesus is the precious jewel
We're significant & loved
Shred my moral mask to bits
Oh God, it holds me back...
From realizing deep down inside
You always will be mine
