THE MASK
John 8:36 and Colossians 2:13-15
Oh, the nails they drove into His hands
should have been through mine.
And the blood He shed that day
should have been mine.
And the cross they nailed Him to-
oh that was my cross.
The death He died to pay the price
should have been mine.
I guess all along, I always knew I was wrong.
The life I lived was just the way I sung the song.
But deep inside, I knew I lived a lie a
nd I wore a mask to hide my shame.
I fooled them all with a smile I found one day,
then a King took the mask away.
I stood before Him and He looked right into my life
and He saw me; He knew just where I had been,
and I bowed my head because I knew He saw it all.
My whole life was there to see.
So there I was, guilty before Him,
and I waited and watched to see what He would say.
And He said, “Forgiven.”
He forgave me--a brand new start,
a brand new heart He gave.
He gave to me a second chance
to make this life what it should be,
and even though He saw what I had been,
He looked beyond it.
Now I know and now I see what it is to be free.
The cross they nailed Him to that was my cross.
To be forgiven, yes, I know.
The death He died to pay my price should have been mine.
I know. This I know. This I know.
Should have been mine, should have been mine,
should have been
Yes, I know. I know.
mine, should have been mine, should have been mine.

When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you
alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the written code, with its regulations,
that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he too it away, nailing it to the cross.
