Unmask me


Flaming arrows fuelled with lies
Pierce my skin and close my eyes
I hide my face and close my heart
And choose to play someone else's part
Forgetting who I'm made to be
Trying to be someone who's not me
But this castle will not stand
On foundations built on sand

Unmask me
Peel back another layer
Unmask me
And leave me standing bare
Standing bare before You
My only care for You
Unmask me

Always burdened by my measuring stick
I make self-judgements harsh and quick
Deciding how I "know" I'm viewed
Seeing with vision that's always skewed
So help me to be true
To stand in my own shoes
As the voice of the enemy mocks
Set my foundations on the Rock

Unmask me
Peel back another layer
Unmask me
And leave me standing bare
Standing bare before You
My only care for You
Unmask me
