Lies and Deceit
Lies & Deceit are the Devil's tools
To relish in them, will render you a fool.
They'll destroy all trust & run people away.
Why would they deal with it? Why would they stay?
Lies & Deceit are not in God's plans
These are not the things, he's given to man.
These things are not of him, these are things he detests
These things will destroy you, you won't be at your best.
God will not bless you
Give you the favor you deserve
Living in Lies & Deceit, quite frankly
Gets on God's nerves.
Lies & Deceit will remove people from you life
Family, friends, children, your husband, your wife.
Lies & Deceit never go away
It'll grow & grow
You think you're fooling people
But believe me, they know.
A lie is transparent & easily seen
It'll be soon be bought to the light
& in God's eyes you will be unclean.
Deceit can fool some for awhile
This is so true
But God will give them a new vision
& their instincts will be anew.
Lies & Deceit will take you nowhere
They'll cause people to dislike you & no longer care.
God says be honest & be truthful to everyone
God said it, it was written & his will shall be done.
I lived in Lies & Deceit & lost everything
You can't imagine the pain these things will bring.
You can't imagine the hurt to others
It has caused
My life was at a standstill
An eternal pause.
My lies have broken relationships
That I can't repair
Deceit soon followed
Now people don't even care.
They don't care what will become of me
Because of my past actions, they refuse to see
That I removed Lies & Deceit from my daily routine.
I sent them away, now my soul is clean.
My thinking is clear
Lies & Deceit from my life has been cast.
But no one will believe me
Because of my past.
I talk to God & beg him to let people see
That there is change that's come over me.
I ask him to please let everyone know
That these Lies & Deceit, in my life, just had to go.
I lost it all & probably won't get it back
But I am determined to get my life back on track.
I let go of the lies that have held me down
Deceit is no longer with me, no longer around.
I took these things out of my life & threw them away
Now I'm striving for righteousness each & everyday.
My Lies & Deceit were brought into the light
Now that they're gone, my future looks bright.
I have hope, encouragement & feel better than ever
I might be able to get my life back together.
I might be able to live again
Instead of living in this den of sin.
Lies & Deceit serve no real purpose
Because they hurt all those around you
When they finally surface.
Lies & Deceit are the Devil's tools
But God has released me from them
Now I'm no longer a fool.
