To belong to the Lord Jesus Christ
My faith I'd put in him
But I'd done nothing with my life
I’d swear, blaspheme
And I would even curse
A Christian life seen just as another character audition
My part so eloquently written and so elegantly rehearsed
To anyone who would listen
I bragged because I went to church on every single Sunday
My heart was placed upon a pedestal
As a committed Christian only for public display
I would pray in front of others
By my bed at night
When the truth was revealed
My heart and mind were not right
Nothing ever seemed to be changed
My life was still so sinful
I claimed to be so pure and seemingly a saint
My heart and mind so deranged
Believing I was an example as the perfect Savior untaint
A life never claimed and never changed
When my life was over and done
To my grave I went and stood before a Holy God
Only to be told,” Depart because you never knew my Son."
