Mystery Of Me
(written by Candice Landis )
She Asked If I Was Really A Christian With A Sneer In Her Voice
I Turned And Smiled As I Quietly Rejoiced
I Love People Who Refuse To Believe And Try To Turn A Deaf Ear
Those People Who Seem Filled With Resentment And Fear
So I Smiled Nicely And Asked Her What It Is She See's
When She's Looking At Me With Such Intense Scrutiny
She Was Quiet As She Searched Her Mind For The Correct Wording
Her Desire To Make Me Feel Less Than I Am In Her Heart Was Burning
I See Someone Eager To Make Jokes At Others Expense
Someone Who See's The Fault Of Others But About Her Own Remains Stubbornly Dense
I See Someone Starving For Attention That Will Go To Any Length
I See Someone Pretending To Be A Christian Because They Lack Any Real Strength
I Smiled With Kindness And Tolerance
As I Watched Her Do A Little Victory Dance
Then I Flipped The Switch That Would Magnify The Truth And Set Me Free
As I Gazed Into The Eyes Of My Reflection And Responded To That Dark Voice Residing Inside Of Me
Taking A Deep Breath I Asked Quietly, Will You Never Learn?
I'm Not You Anymore, I Chose To Take A Different Turn
I Follow Jesus Now And My Heart No Longer Yearns
You Can Join Me Or You Can Choose To Go Where Darkness Reigns And Hatred Burns
The Choice Is Yours But For Me You Have Long Since Passed Away
As A Matter Of Fact I Rarely Even Hear Your Voice These Days
All Of Those Things You Said Once Were True
That Was Back In The Day When I Mistakenly Believed Your Views
Jesus Has Given Me A Brand New Looking Glass
One That Doesn't Focus On The Past
My Fathers Love For Me Is Unsurpassed
Nothing You Or I Can Do Will Ever Change That
So Stop Worrying About Our Past Transgressions
I'm No Longer Living Under Satanic Oppression
My God Has Lifted Me To Glorious Heights Of Progression
He Paid For All My Sins Long Ago When He Was Crucified
I Became Brand New When I Gave My Confession And Was Baptized
So Unless My Dear Inner Voice You Have Something Positive And Godly To Impart
Forever Closed To You Will Be The Ears Of My Soul And The Doors To My Heart
I Will No Longer Be My Own Worst Enemy
For I Have The Love Of Jesus And He's A Perfect Fit For Me
