I'm okay, you're okay is a mask in the land of pretend.
Only by removing it will a heart and soul ever mend.
If you would dispose of your mask, I will do the same,
then we'll no longer need to point a finger of blame.
We've both been hiding behind one, concealing pain.
You see my eyes are red from tears that fell like rain.
I've kept you from seeing my frown by hiding my lips,
but I've longed to untie your veil with my fingertips.
Keeping my emotions hidden has been a poor disguise.
I've been a captain whose ship was starting to capsize.
It's finally time we end the facade and reveal our faces,
for these disguises have been shielding what fear abases.

Key Verse – Jeremiah 39:18 For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD.
LORD GOD, YOU ARE MY TRUST UPHOLDER
Lord God, You are my trust Upholder,
ever-breaking my stubbornness
Thank You for Your guarding holiness
That freed me from sin’s captivity and selfishness
Toward eternal deliverance by Your salvation-righteousness.
Lord God, You are my trust Upholder,
ever-binding my bad practices
Thank You for Your goodness’ graces
That drive me vain personal races
Toward virtuous testimony, giving You my praises.
Lord God, You are my trust Upholder,
ever-bringing my heart to Your constant cleansing
Thank You for Your purging of divine rinsing
That sanctifies me from guilt’s oppressing
Toward received forgiveness midst sincere confessing.
Lord God, You are my trust Upholder,
ever-blowing away my pride against vanity
Thank You for Your exemplified humility
That abases me from arrogant tenacity
Toward joyful obedience to authority.
Lord God, You are my trust Upholder,
ever-building-up my faith’s might
Thank You for Your Scriptures’ principles always right
That converted me from skepticism-blight
Toward peaceful submissiveness as my believer’s delight.
Lord God, You are my trust Upholder,
ever-bending my will along service-fervour
Thank You for Your compassion of gracious savour
That turned me from wayward endeavour
Toward guided walk through Your direction-favour.
Lord God, You are my trust Upholder,
ever-breeding my personality by Your tender mercy
Thank You for Your Word with admonishing and exhorting persistency
That nourished me from ignorance of deceitful ecstasy
Toward my spirituality, prospering through Your best excellency.
