My eyes are blind, I cannot see the subtle lies that bind me

I am a schemer adrift in a sea , no one will ever find me

Drowning in rationalizing and sin

Deceived by the wicked heart within

In a fortress of pride and the dominion of doubt

Trusting no one and nothing to find me out.

But there is this Jesus who refuses to quit

Loving and pursuing me into my pit

I knew he loves schemers and liars and whores

Now I see I am all of these and much more.
