Mask

[Anglican]

Beneath the mask you’re wearing
There lies a crumpled heap,
A mass of contradictions
That you're desperate to keep
If only people knew you,
A heap of sin and shame,
They would surely shun you,
They wouldn't be to blame



As you keep on sinking
Into this pit of guilt,
The devil has the victory,
With all the lies he's built
God doesn't want to know you,
He wouldn't waste His time
So carry on your life of fear,
Slide deeper in the slime




God loves you very deeply,
He wants to hold you near
To bring light to your darkness
And banish all your fear,
Through Jesus you have power,
To change your sense of worth,
And be just as He wants you,
His child of joy and mirth.

That first verse really got to me.
