“What I’ve tried to cover up in my life I’m left with” 
As written in, ”First-John, one through nine.” 
But no matter how well… I think I’ve hidden my sins 
They will all be unearthed… with time. 
 
Revealing all the sins we’ve harbored 
The skeletons hanging secretly… behind closed doors. 
No matter how well we try and cover them over 
There always seems… to be added just one sin more.  
 
God suggests we let them lay… out in the open 
For all too… gaze their eyes upon.  
And don’t waist your time…trying to bury 
Those things… mankind is not so fond. 
 
God sees all of what we’ve tried to hide 
He sees them…and cries out to you.  
For He came and died… that man should live 
That was… what He was sent to earth to do.
