If It's a Crime, I'm Guilty

If it's a crime, I'm guilty
Of shrugging off every sin
Concealing every past regret
Buried deep within

I hide behind a curtain
Of jealousy and lies
But you can see the sin, the shame,
The hurting in my eyes

I sit in the pew on Sunday
I know the words to every song
I even know a few Scriptures
A good Christian -- so I thought

The stained glass window cannot hide
All the wrong that I have done
For God sees the real me
From him, I cannot run

But that's not it, there's more
Indeed, God knows my heart
But His Son's blood gives me new life,
A clean slate, and a fresh start
