Look Away

• Well I've been away for a very long time
• and I'm so glad to be home
• and I've a story to tell you now
• and the words are all my own

• when I was younger I gave my life
• to the Lord of heaven and earth
• but all this time I've been living a lie
• I never have had new birth
• never... have had... new birth

• well I thought that I could have it all
• please the Father and myself
• when the worlds allure caught my eye
• my faith went on the shelf

• but I am here to tell you now
• something that I have learned
• those who live only for themselves
• most surely in hell will burn
• most surely...in hell...will burn

• look away, Look away my child
• look away and live
• take your eyes off of this world
• it has nothing to give
• set your face towards the Son
• children of the day
• look away, look away my child
• for God's sake look away

• as one who awakens from a bad dream
• from the darkness to the light
• the Spirit of God had mercy on me
• and restored to me my sight

• the desires that used to control my life
• were tearing my soul in two
• the lust of the eyes never satisfies
• my God what was I to do
• my God...what was I...to do

• I cried to the Lord and he answered me
• from somewhere deep inside
• deny yourself and you will live
• the flesh has been crucified

• open your eyes and you will see the light
• too long you have lived the lie
• the judgement day is upon you now
• and the soul who sins will die
• the soul...who sins...will. die

• look away, Look away my child
• look away and live
• take your eyes off of this world
• it has nothing to give
• set your face towards the Son
• children of the day
• look away, look away my child
• for God's sake look away
