You used to pray when no one else could see
Found your strength down on your knees
But now you're chasing approval from the crowd
Their voices getting way too loud
You built your life on shifting sand
Following every new demand
Forgot the One who knew you first
Now you're dying from a different thirst
When did their words become your law
When did you forget what you once saw
You're bowing down to faces in the crowd
But Heaven's voice is calling out
You traded truth for temporary praise
Lost yourself inside the maze
Come back to where you used to stand
Before you feared the voice of man
Every morning you rehearse your lines
Making sure you stay in line
More afraid of what they'll say
Than losing sight of the narrow way
You know the Truth but hide it well
Living in a compromise shell
The fear of man has got you bound
But peace is waiting to be found
When did their words become your law
When did you forget what you once saw
You're bowing down to faces in the crowd
But Heaven's voice is calling out
You traded truth for temporary praise
Lost yourself inside the maze
Come back to where you used to stand
Before you feared the voice of man
Their opinions will fade like morning mist
But His love will always exist
Why give your soul for their applause
When you know who really holds your cause
One day you'll stand before the throne
And all their voices will be gone
What will matter in that hour
Is who you chose to give the power
Let His word become your law
Remember now what you once saw
Stop bowing down to faces in the crowd
Heaven's voice is calling out
Don't trade the truth for temporary praise
Find your way out of the maze
Go back to where you used to stand
And fear the God, not fear the man
Fear the God, not fear the man
Take your courage, make your stand
He's been waiting all along
To bring His wandering child back home
