[Verse 1] You walked the aisle and you took the seat With polished shoes and your words so sweet But you didn’t come to be washed in the flow You came to tell the Lord which way to go You built a kingdom on a shifting sand With a Bible held in a self-serving hand To mask the fact you’re worshipping a man. [Pre-Chorus] It’s a fever in the spirit, a fog inside the mind When you're looking for the Savior, but it’s yourself you find Oh, the heart is a deceiver, and the ego is a ghost... [Chorus] Don’t you bow to a god that looks just like you Don’t you pray to a lie and call it the truth He won’t be a weapon for your pride or your throne He’s the King of the Glory, and He stands alone Break the mirror at the altar... let Him make you whole. [Verse 2] You talk of the "nations," you talk of the "tribe" But mercy is something that you can’t prescribe You’ve co-opted the Spirit to justify the hate While you're locking the "outsider" outside the gate That "strong delusion" is a heavy, golden chain Taking His Name, but taking it in vain. [Bridge] I don't want my way Let Him remake me I don't want my image Let Him reshape me Take the scales off my eyes Lord, let the light in It’s a dangerous thing... To play God with your sin [Outro] It’s a long way down from the pedestal you made. Lay it down. Don't be deluded, child... Just be redeemed.
