Israel Houghton Secrets Lyrics

We lie to our lovers, we lie to our friends
Painting our pictures and playing pretend
We keep our secrets all to ourselves
Stand at a distance so no one can tell

And nobody knows us and nobody will
We all keep pretending we're better, but still
We keep our secrets to cover our shame
You see the darkness and You love us the same

We run from our troubles, we run from our pain
Gather the dirt up and sweep it away
And we put our mask on, pretending by faith
And carry our secrets with us to the grave

And nobody knows us and nobody will
We all keep pretending we're better, but still We keep our secrets to cover our shame
But You see the darkness and You love us the same

We hide our weakness, we hide our sin
We feel the guilt but we keep it all in
We are just children, small and afraid
Your truth will unmask us and love us the same

And nobody knows us and nobody will
We all keep pretending we're better, but still
We keep our secrets to cover our shame
And You see the darkness and You love us the same
You see the darkness and love us the same
You see the darkness and You love us the same
