Don't pretend that it never happened
I was there and I know what you did
You can hide underneath that grin
I see right through you
Now you face the consequences
Now you have to live with all of this
Now you get what you deserve when you
Live this double life
Now you run in casings of the truth
Now your past is catching up with you
Now you get what you deserve when you
Live this double life
This song brought to mind the story in Acts 5 where a husband and wife conspired together to lie to the church about giving money. They appeared righteous and sacrificing giving money from selling land but they had kept back some for themselves. Everyone found out what they did when they died in their sin.
Then Peter said to her, "Why is it that you have agreed together to put the Spirit of the Lord to the test? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out as well." Acts 5:9
When we claim to be one thing but live differently, our lie catches us. We not only lie to others but we lie to God as well. We do not need to pretend to be anything. We only need to live the life God calls us to live as followers of Chrisy-one of holiness and righteousness.
