I’ve done a lot of things in the course of my life
From sales to flipping burgers and a manager at times
Through many of my years my life was ruled by pride
So often I would fool myself to thinking sin would hide

You see I was a hypocrite who lived a different life
In Jesus days the Pharisees were what I would be like
I’d masquerade as righteous while I lived a life of lies
Then one day I was challenged to bring my life in line

I finally realized that my life was full by pride
I learned to bring that enemy under control in time
Now I live my life by the words of Jesus Christ
In Him I will forever more abide
