The person you see is not the one that I'm supposed to be
an eternity of perfection has been destroyed by my sin
cursed in blackness - showered in pain
is He who created me
with willing reservations I crucify Him again and again and again

I pound the nails into His hands
I pound the nails into His feet
I spit in His face and watch Him die
and repent at my convenience

I know the one you know
I know the one you see
a distorted view of God through my non-self
but does my other life
give you the right
to dismiss who God is

As the nails pass through His flesh the day begins to dawn
in desperate hours my other cowers back in me
funny that blood could be so sweet
forgiving what once was mine to keep
the sin I never wanted is forgiven by His death

I know the one you know
I know the one you see
a distorted view of God through my non-self
but does my other life
give you the right
to dismiss who God is

Open up your eyes see what is laid before you
one way leads to heaven many lead to hell
blindness will not save even the best of fools
ignorance will be no excuse on judgment day

I know the one you know
I know the one you see
a distorted view of God through my non-self
but does my other life
give you the right
to dismiss who God is
in Adam we die
through Christ I am born
transformed from my sinful nature
the life I now claim
is available to all
who choose to deny their non-self
