Why Pretend?
Stop drifting with the wind
Admit when you have sinned
Stop trying to deceive
Abandon make-believe
Chorus:
Jesus will be
Your greatest friend
He'll give you strength
To start again
He knows the truth
So why pretend?
You cannot lose
When you confess
The truth to him
He put aside
His royal place
Identified
With our corrupted human race
Although he knew
That some would spit into his face
He chose to come
To us to suffer in our place
Chorus...
You have a friend
You have a hope
He'll be there when
You reach the end of every rope
You're holding on
But you can never stand on air
So why pretend?
And why descend into despair?
Chorus...
