lyrics

VERSE 1:
Woe to me, when I betray the words I preach,
When I shut the Kingdom to others and myself,
Woe to me.

VERSE 2:
If I taught others of You—the living God—
If I taught them a dead religion, but not true faith,
Woe to me.

VERSE 3:
Woe to me, when I swear by sacred things,
When I pull You into a promise to get my way,
Woe to me.

VERSE 4:
I can’t see the law I keep is keeping me,
From love and mercy. If I lack justice my tithe is worthless.
Woe to me.

VERSE 5:
Woe to me if I show You hypocrisy.
If my cup is clean from the outside but not within,
Woe to me.

VERSE 6:
I may look righteous, but with secrets untold,
Like a whitewashed tomb on the outside, I’m dead within.
Woe to me.

VERSE 7:
Woe to me, when I sing but don’t believe,
I praise You like a Pharisee;
Who can’t escape the guilt of Your judgment for killing Your prophets.
Woe to me.
