Recovering Pharisee
Well, I'm a Pharisee in recovery
With new eyes I can see a big sinner in me
Because it's the way of my human heart
To confess other people's sin
Reluctant to admit my part
Or the deeper problem within
But thank God he won't let me be
Or remain in my hypocrisy
Yea, sooner or later I'll be on my knees
Honest to God a recovering Pharisee
Well, I'm a sinner and a saint simultaneously
I know I'm not what I was, but what I'm going to be
Still I got that old tendency
To be all a wicked man can be
It takes more than knowing right from wrong
It takes more than singing gospel songs
It takes the life of the Great I Am
To produce any good in me
He is the vine, I'm the branch, and I'm learning to be
Honest to God a recovering Pharisee
I need the God of all grace each and every day
If I'm to run this race, if I'm to walk in his way
I don't have to be a slave to sin
I don't have to let the devil win
For the son of God lives in me
And He promises to set me free
So, Jesus, help my unbelief
So I can follow you faithfully
You're the shepherd, I'm the sheep, and You're helping me be
Honest to God a recovering Pharisee
Well, well
Well, I'm a Pharisee in recovery
With new eyes I can see a big sinner in me
But, I don't have to be a slave to sin
I don't have to let that old devil win, no, no
With new eyes I can see a big sinner in me
Because it's the way of my human heart
To confess other people's sin
Reluctant to admit my part
Or the deeper problem within
But thank God he won't let me be
Or remain in my hypocrisy
Yea, sooner or later I'll be on my knees
Honest to God a recovering Pharisee
Well, I'm a sinner and a saint simultaneously
I know I'm not what I was, but what I'm going to be
Still I got that old tendency
To be all a wicked man can be
It takes more than knowing right from wrong
It takes more than singing gospel songs
It takes the life of the Great I Am
To produce any good in me
He is the vine, I'm the branch, and I'm learning to be
Honest to God a recovering Pharisee
I need the God of all grace each and every day
If I'm to run this race, if I'm to walk in his way
I don't have to be a slave to sin
I don't have to let the devil win
For the son of God lives in me
And He promises to set me free
So, Jesus, help my unbelief
So I can follow you faithfully
You're the shepherd, I'm the sheep, and You're helping me be
Honest to God a recovering Pharisee
Well, well
Well, I'm a Pharisee in recovery
With new eyes I can see a big sinner in me
But, I don't have to be a slave to sin
I don't have to let that old devil win, no, no
