Lies - Keith Green

When I was young I just believed 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 sometimes my doubts will open up for me

A world that I just despise

And then the shades come down, the lights turn off

And I am 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

Lies, lies

Wicked lies

Lies

If you’re well read, you probably know how the story goes

You know how it 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
