This Moment

This moment is special
It's where you're at now
So what is your status
Can you take a vow
That everything's lovely
Your life is just ace
Or is it a mask
That you wear on your face.

The God of your being
Prefers that you're real
He knows all the problems
That you won't reveal
You're kept in a prison
Too scared to escape
Old satan is laughing
You're bound in his tape.

How long will you suffer
Cut off from the flock
Bound up in this torment
The key to this lock
Is turned from the inside
So be brave and choose
The freedom of Jesus
You've too much to lose.
