Deception

 

 

Whatever happened to wickedness? whatever happened to sin?

 

 

We excuse ourselves and rationalize the desperate evil within

 

 

At sin we blink and we come to think that there's something good deep inside

 

 

But our hearts are wild  and need to be reconciled

 

 

With the Holiness this world has denied.

 

 

He is the work that leads to righteousness, not a work that makes us right in our own eyes

 

 

He finished the work at Calvary, but before it works for you, you must realize

 

 

God made him to be sin for us, Him who knew no sin

 

 

That we might become the righteousness of God in Him...

 

 

There are men who deny they are debtors but denial doesnt mean the debt's gone

 

 

There are men who bask in self righteousness thinking they are right but they are dead wrong

 

 

When we reward our own self effort we are our enemy not a friend

 

 

There is one who justifies the wicked- there is one who paid the debt for sin

 

 

He is the work that leads to righteousness, not a work that makes us right in our own eyes

 

 

He finished the work at Calvary, but before it works for you, you must realize

 

 

God made him to be sin for us, Him who knew no sin

 

 

That we might become the righteousness of God in Him...
