Liars, cheats, and frauds parade the street They want you in the chorus, singing sweet Fruitless thoughts that raise both man and angel To the empty throne of deceit. They offer systems built on shifting sand A lower-story life without the upper hand Don’t listen to their silver-tongued persuasions Don’t bow when they demand you change your stance He saved us, delivered us Brought us out of the world and into His kingdom He is our Savior, our King, our authority He taught us His Word He is the one who set us free to live pure in Him He is purifying our hearts To only see Him as the true, the righteous, the Lord of all life The world invites you to its hollow feast To flaunt the flesh and call it’s hunger peace It builds on nothing, sells you satisfaction Then tells you you’re alright if you just turn away But every autonomous claim collapses in the end The God who is there will not share His throne with men No shadow law, no elemental claim Can hold what He has claimed He saved us, delivered us Brought us out of the world and into His kingdom He is our Savior, our King, our authority He taught us His Word He is the one who set us free to live pure in Him He is purifying our hearts To only see Him as the true, the righteous, the Lord of all life Hold fast to the Head From whom the whole body grows Don’t let them persuade you with their shallow lies The truth is the Christ you know Not a private feeling, not a compartmented faith But the Lord of every square inch of reality We will not bow to the false and the fleeting We will not walk in the counsel of the empty For He has set us free, and free we shall remain Circumcised in heart, buried and raised Alive with Him who canceled every charge He saved us, delivered us Brought us out of the world and into His kingdom He is our Savior, our King, our authority He taught us His Word Set us free to live pure in Him Purifying our hearts To only see Him… The true… the righteous… The Lord of all life Don’t listen… Don’t bow… Only the Head. The God who is there. And we shall walk in the light of His truth Until the day breaks and the shadows flee away.
