The Difference Between You and I

You say you deserve this world You want everything it’s got You say you deserve it all That’s the difference between you and I I know I deserve hell To be burned with my sins tonight I’m such a shameful disgrace How can one look me in the face What you do in the dark Will only be magnified When it’s brought to the light Everyone has their secrets Didn’t you know you couldn’t keep it You say you deserve this world You want everything it’s got You say you deserve it all That’s the difference between you and I The pleasures of the present Will later not seem so pleasant When you have to look God in the face And tell Him everything you’ve done wrong If only someone could read your mind Or take a look into your soul They would see your innocence is just an act Don’t you know you better run and hide You say you deserve this world You want everything it’s got You say you deserve it all That’s the difference between you and I I know I deserve hell To be burned with my sins tonight I’m such a shameful disgrace How can one look me in the face You’re looking for the promise land But you don’t have God’s grace at hand You’ve denied everything he has given you So now God’s mercy is through with you I chose to trust in God And I took his hand through the end I denied my sinful ways That’s the difference between you and I
