Vivir Sin Fingirte

Dianette Mendez

Live Without Pretending To Be You

I don't want a costume to worship
You know very well who I am
The mysteries of my heart
I don't want to raise my hands
If it's just for show
It's worthless

I don't want to pretend
To be someone I'm not
I can't deceive
To the one who knows the heart

I don't want to pretend
That I immerse myself in Your presence
When my heart is far from You
I want to find you in intimacy
Respect Your holiness
And to find you
To become close as friends
I want to live without pretending to be you
I want to live without pretending to be you

I am not trying to fake my devotion
To worship without conviction
It becomes
Pure emotion
I don't want to sing out of vanity
In all sincerity
I give you my soul

I don't want to pretend
To be someone I'm not
I can't deceive
To the one who knows the heart

I'll give you my flaws
All my secrets
Heal my wounds
And make me again

I don't want to keep pretending in front of you
I don't want to keep pretending that I'm okay
I don't want to keep walking in this world, acting
Oh Lord, a fake smile can deceive many, but not God
He knows your inner self, he knows your pain
What happened to you when you were a child
The words that hurt you, or the things that hit you along the way
He knows your suffering, he knows your groaning
He has always been there and today he comes to tell you: Let go of appearances
Hey, take off that mask, it's time to show some presence
Go into prayer, go in to seek Him, go in and you will find the King of Kings
Oh, he will change you, oh, he will transform the situation
Raise your hands and say: I don't want to, I don't want to pretend that I am immersed in your presence
When my heart is far from you
I want to seek you in intimacy and respect your holiness
To meet with you, to be intimate as friends
I want to live without pretending to be you
