Lies Lyrics by Keith Green

The Keith Green Collection

1980

[Verse 1]
When I was young I just believed everything that I heard
Just what I heard
But now the only thing that I can believe is God's word
His Holy Word
But even now sometimes my doubts will open up for me
A world that I just despise
And then the shades come down, the lights turn off
And I am left alone with my helpless cries

[Chorus 1]
When I hear all his lies
All of the devil's wicked lies
If you believe and your faith just dies
Don't you be a fool
Don't you even open up
Or expose yourself to just one of his wicked lies

[Verse 2]
I want to go around the world and prove Jesus lives
You know He lives
And we're not only friends, we're family, we're relatives
Relatives
But when I'm far from home and so alone
And my imagined fears get so oversized
That's when I listen to the one no one should listen to
And get fooled by his disguise

[Chorus 2]
Feeling weak from his lies
All of his bad wicked lies
If you believe and your faith just dies
Don't you get fooled
Don't you even open up
Or expose yourself to just one of his wicked lies

[Post-Chorus]
Lies, lies
Wicked lies
Lies

[Verse 3]
If you're well read, you probably know how the story goes
You know how it goes
That wolf can look so good especially dressed in the right clothes
The wooly clothes
And as he starts to knit the counterfeit
He'll totally make you feel like you're paralyzed
He'll keep you spun around and looking down
Just when you should be looking straight to the skies

[Chorus]
Pleading help from his lies
All of the devil's wicked lies
If you believe and your faith just dies
Don't you be a fool
Don't you even open up
Or expose yourself to one of his wicked lies
To one of his wicked lies
