Chorus:

Live in union with Him,

Keep your roots deep in Him,

Never stray from Him,

Love with Him, die with Him, rise with Him.

1. I once was a blind man,

'Cause I refused to see.

But Christ tore the mask from my eyes

And told me that I could be me.

Chorus

2. Now I won’t let them see beyond this smiling face.

To see the real me that’s hiding on the inside.

“Cause they might laugh or just turn and walk away.

And not hurt me, but hurt my pride.

(And Jesus says,)

3. "I am in each one of you

And I know it's hard to be

Yourself with no masks or walls.

But when they see the real you,

They'll be seeing me." Chorus.

*One of the very first songs I wrote, after attending ECHO, which you may know as Cursillo or Walk to Emmaus or Chrysalis.
