i tried to live according to your ways

yet hypocrisy marked my every step

lies to myself became my companion

as i lived under your rules for living

religious games i will no longer play

for the Holy Spirit dwells in my life as i walk

with my Lord Christ walking in his ways

being blessed by the Grace of God

throwing off that dead skin of religion

taking tradition out of my life

turning away from my hypocritical ways

i'm only going to live for Jesus Christ

i've destroyed my idols of doctrine and theology

turning away from pleasing the men of God

taking hold of living the only way i know how

with the bible as my guide to proclaim the Grace of God

throwing off that dead skin of religion

taking tradition out of my life

turning away from my hypocritical ways

i'm only going to live for Jesus Christ
