Chorus

Things are not what they seem.  People believe what they want to believe,

But things are not . . .  not what they seem.   no . . .

 

Consider the Evolutionist:

Goes out of his way to say God doesn’t exist.

He’ll shape the evidence to make it fit.

He hides his face from the truth.

 

Chorus

Things are not what they seem.  People believe what they want to believe,

But things are not . . .  not what they seem.   no . . .

 

There’s hunger and violence, open your eyes.

How can God let it happen if He’s so wise.

But God’s not the cause, man’s his own demise.

We hide our face from the truth.

 

Chorus

Things are not what they seem.  People believe what they want to believe,

But things are not . . .  not what they seem.   no . . .

 

 “It’s a woman’s right.”  That’s what they said.

“What isn’t alive can’t be made dead!”

“A burden to bear?  Abort it instead!”

She hides her face from the truth.

 

Chorus –

Things are not what they seem.  People believe what they want to believe,

But things are not . . .  not what they seem.   no . . .

 

Bridge –

Deep inside, we know what is right,

but we choose to believe all of Satan’s lies.

 

 

 

A friend of mine won’t go to church any more.

“The people are hypocrites, and it’s such a bore.”

“And that stuff about Jesus is ancient folklore.”

He hides his face from the truth.

 

Chorus

Things are not what they seem.  People believe what they want to believe,

But things are not . . .  not what they seem.   no . . .

 

Such advancement of science – we’ve made quite a dent

They say whether God exists is irrelevant

But the ancient of days is coming again

Don’t hide your face from the truth

 

Chorus

Things are not what they seem.  People believe what they want to believe,

But things are not . . .  not what they seem.   no . . .
