How Long More?

How long do you plan
To keep up that facade
You've kept up for decades
I guess it's time to stop
You can't help yourself
Only His grace can
You can't hide yourself
Behind your earthly goods
How long more before you see?
He does not look on the outside
But He looks into the heart
The world may see a great outside
Only you know how shallow that is
Deep down in your heart of hearts
So don't try to hide the real you
With your glorious outside
They might serve as a shield
But only for this lifetime
