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
-Allison Gossage (2010)
