My life isn't mine,
What I feel is nothing compared,
To what he felt
I laugh and live in the moment.

Rejecting the fact that
My laughter was due to
What he went through
What he felt,
How he endured all for my sake,
I have been over shadowed
Not because of how I live
But because of how I please my flesh.

How i mask my face,
How I worship my desires
Without any second thought
I hear a voice reaching out for me.
The mask turns heavy
I listen closely to the voice
For once adhere.

The more closer I get
The more light I feel,
I thought to myself let it lead me.
I walked in its path,
I follow every step with no footprints traced,
I turned to see those things holding me back,
Looking me straight in the eye

With sympathy and thirst.
I tried resisting but I guess
Trying once more is no offense,
I lost track of thoughts
I slowly walk towards it
Avoiding all gaze.

Head high like a queen
Holding me by the hands
I was given that same mask
Ignoramused I collected it,
But the moment I put it on
I felt empty.

Oh how i miss that voice
Its tone was nothing to be compared with
The words it spoke brought
SALVATION.

Ohh how fullfilled I feel when I say that word,
The mask showed me nothing but a bright light
Its brightness could melt a sinful soul
I was glaring at it
The emptiness I felt rolled down like water.

You are free the voice said
Then I recalled he died for me.
He paid my debt
Chained without pity
Their  thirst for more
Was clear in their eyes
How can I forget,
The risk he took for me
Many has come and gone
Here I am,
But still his blood still flows
Never dried up,
Then I took the mask off.

But still the light is shining
I told myself if this is freedom
I want it every bit of it
SALVATION.

I screamed out once more
How good it felt to pour out my voice,
As loud as I just did
I can never thank him enough,
My strength renewed
All because of me.

Unmask yourself from lies,
Unmask yourself from jealousy,
Unmask yourself from hatred,
Unmask yourself from pain,
Unmask yourself from sadness,
Unmask yourself from anger,
Coz that mask isn't yours
And was never meant to be yours.

He gave us life,
He gave us salvation,
He gave us peace,
He gave us all of him,
He gave us one name to lean on,
JESUS .
