Verse 1 A good fella in the sight of many earthly eyes Till I saw my error and discovered that this heart was blind Never hurt nobody else and I obeyed the law I kept myself to myself, cos I knew the score What you do comes back to you harder But just in case let me pray to the Father Oh yeah, religious, from birth I've been attending church More superstitious, I didn't know the prayer could work I'd plead my case that I was good, look at the work I've done To earn some brownie points, I'd act the Good Samaritan Outweigh the bad, but in the end 'Only God Can Judge' And I was told that he was cool, they told me God is love So on the scale; I think I'm good, I guess he's pleased with me So I'll just carry on with life, I'm living decently But there's something that's been bugging me considerably, If I can save myself, then why was Jesus killed for me? Chorus When I survey my life, And then the cross of Christ, No it don't seem right that you were there instead of me Verse 2 If you could see inside my mind, you'd see a different guy But I'll just keep that to myself, no need to see inside Don't wanna see the hatred, the murder on my heart But if you test my patience then you won't have to ask You'll see the overflow; my mouth will tell you what's been hidden And you could tell from my jokes the lustful life I'm livin' These small seeds that I feed when I'm in the quiet place But keep that quiet please, cos I don't think that I could face Another grilling from my Miss's bout why I've been missing All up in my face and telling me that I don't listen But honestly I gotta say that most the time she's right And I know that I'm the problem every time we fight I'm drawn to selfishness, man I need some help with this It's seems my secret problems overflow into my every act It's like it's slavery, I thought it was a slave to me But it seems that I'm the slave, and I'm in need of setting free! Chorus Verse 3 I set some boundaries, but they never stopped desires I tried suppress the flicker, but they only caught on fire I tried ignoring it in turn I substitute what's right We're called to holiness, but I prefer the selfish life New heart, new desires, this is what I need And I was told this is why Jesus bled for me Not just my actions, but my thoughts, yeah, my very nature Have become tampered with and break the heart of the Creator Falling short to cause a split in our relationship Punishment, death, but it's life that he came to give! Christ died on the cross, then he rose and lives Only through faith in Him we have restored relationship He took my blame and hung it with Him as my substitute Penalty gone! Sin, no longer friends with you! (peace! ) Now through his Spirit he's reforming and reshaping me To restore the image of the Lord like I was made to be! Chorus x2
