A mask is not a man, no! But
    It seems we’ve changed that truth.
We’ve covered up with righteous talk
    While never having proof.

I’ve shown the world my mask and it
    Accepted lovingly.
While in my heart both pride and self
    Had gained the mastery

A mask is not a man, it’s true.
    I’ll witness to that fact.
The Spirit showed my self-deceit.
    My mask began to crack

I saw me as the filthy rag.
    A soul that is corrupt.
But Jesus my Creator came,
    And lifted me back up

He shows me every day His love.
    His willingness to save.
My mask is crumbling down just now,
    Because of what He gave

Soon truth and love and peaceful soul,
    Will shine completely through.
No mask, but Oh the wonder of,
    A life that’s true and new!
