Convicted

Held fast by revelation
The mask has fallen.
Now everyone can see the truth
About me.
I’m just a mess
Without holiness.
Can’t understand how my life
Got so twisted.
Convicted of hypocrisy -
Living life outside the lines.
Now all that remains of me
Is a mere disguise.
Been convicted of a crime -
I feel the weight of chains.
Father, give me that fire,
And take away the shame.
I live it on the outside
But within me it’s a lie.
Oh, I cry out
For a clean heart.
Just a hypocrite
Convicted
