Scorn the use of Jesus name
Bid farewell to guilt and shame
You assault me with the lie
As I just stand idly by

I will scream for earthly things
But won't whisper for the King
You are right the truth is dead
When I keep it in my head

Fear has come
Pressing so strong inside of me
I've made my choice
Suppressed my voice silence is free

Why am I afraid of living out the truth?
When I am dying of my sin sweetened tooth
Though I fall I'll never fall away from you
Why am I afraid of living out the truth?

I forsake my saviors might
As I push him from my sight
All alone I choose to stay
Hidden deep within my cave

Could I leave and face the storm
With a faith that's so lukewarm?
It's a fence too thin to ride
Hot or cold I must decide

A fear has come
Pressing so strong inside of me
I've made my choice
Suppressed my voice silence is free

Why am I afraid of living out the truth?
When I am dying of my sin sweetened tooth
Though I fall I'll never fall away from you
Why am I afraid of living out the truth?
