Hiding

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)

Rhymed
Some people really think they can
Avoid God's ever present plan
To see and hear all things.

Our ceiling and our roof cannot
Prevent ourselves from being caught
In sin by God our King!

The darkness and the clouds all fail
To hide the truth like lies so frail.
This does include our thoughts inside.

God hears our thoughts as though we said
Them with our voice and thus instead
Of "lies" evict your useless pride!
