Keith Green - Lies! Lyrics

When I was young, I used to believe everything that I heard
Just what I heard
But now the only thing that I can believe is God's word
His Holy word

But even now, my doubts will open up for me
A world that I just despise
And then the shades come down, the light turn off
And I'm left alone with my helpless cries

When I hear all his lies, all of the devil's wicked lies
If you believe and your faith just dies
Don't you be a fool, don't you even open up
Or expose yourself to just one of his wicked lies

I want to go around the world and prove Jesus lives
You know He lives
And we're not only friends, we're family, we're relatives, relatives

But when I'm far from home and so alone
And my imagined fears get so oversized
That's when I listen to the one no one should listen to
And get fooled by his disguise

Feeling weak from his lies, all of his bad wicked lies
If you believe and your faith just dies
Don't you get fooled, don't you even open up
Or expose yourself to just one of his wicked lies

If you're well read, you probably know how the story goes
That wolf can look so good, especially dressed in the right clothes
The wooly clothes

And as he starts to knit the counterfeit
He'll totally make you feel like you're paralyzed.
He'll keep you spun around and looking down
Just when you should be looking straight to the skies

Pleading help from his lies, all of the devil's wicked lies
If you believe and your faith just dies
Don't you be a fool, don't you even open up, or expose yourself
To one of his wicked lies, to one of his wicked lies
