Lies Lyrics - Keith Green

When I was young I used to believe everything that I heard 

Just what I heard 

But now the only thing that I can believe is God's word 

His Holy Word 

But even now my doubts will open up for me 

A world that I just despise 

And then the shades come down, the light turn off 

And I'm left alone with my helpless cries 

When I hear all his lies, all of the devil's wicked lies 

If you believe and your faith just dies 

Don't you be a fool, don't you even open up 

Or expose yourself to just one of his wicked lies 

I want to go around the world and prove Jesus lives 

You know He lives 

And we're not only friends, we're family 

We're relatives, relatives 

But when I'm far from home and so alone 

And my imagined fears get so over sized 

That's when I listen to the one no one should listen to 

And get fooled by his disguise 

Feeling weak from his lies, all of his bad wicked lies 

If you believe and your faith just dies 

Don't you get fooled, don't you even open up 

Or expose yourself to just one of his wicked lies 

If you're well read, you probably know how the story goes 

That wolf can look so good especially 

Dressed in the right clothes, the woolly clothes 

And as he starts to knit the counterfeit he'll totally make you 

Feel like you're paralyzed 

He'll keep you spun around and looking down 

Just when you should be looking straight to the skies 

Pleading help from his lies, all of the devil's wicked lies 

If you believe and your faith just dies 

Don't you be a fool, don't you even open up 

Or expose yourself 

To one of his wicked lies 

To one of his wicked lies
