Holier Than Thou Lyrics by Anna Owens

Ribs

2023

(Pre-Chorus)
You are always the one to cast the first stone
Never once realizing your own fallacy
You are a man, with flesh you have been sewn
Haven’t we all fallen short, except Jesus alone?
Except Jesus alone?
(Verse 1)
I can’t decide which I am more sick of
The actual problem or the facade which you put up
‘Cause you live by your worldly knowledge and all your arguments are built off of ignorance
Your fingers always quick to point at someonе else's sin
Wherе have you found your identity, is it heaven or within?
What God do you serve other than your conceited self
While the spiritual battle wage on, you stay stuck on the surface
Consistently picking a side of the board, like a pawn
But never looking up and seeing the hands that are playing you and I both
But you love your social movements - ah don’t you?
More concerned with fitting in rather then the truth
I see some chinks in your armor - you’re not bullet proof
(Repeat Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
Holier - holier than thou
Talk so loud, act so proud
But you’re not saying anything
Holier - holier than thou
(Verse 2)
Excuse me, can we end this pointless conversation
It seems as though you wish to remain in opposition
To sit at the table with those who love the taste of betrayal and division
So tell me, why do we welcome Judas and curse Jesus?
Why do we crave to be blatant and offensive
My, what dangerous chemistry to play with
To mix the gospel with politics, to mold God’s words with selfish wishes
Forgetting salvation is a gift, you act as though you have never been tempted
Where is your sorrow and your affliction
For the ones who are caught in the world, for the ones you have left cold
(Repeat Pre-Chorus, Chorus x2)
(Outro)
Haven't we all fallen short, except Jesus alone?
Except Jesus alone?
