Altar Ego Lyrics

I can tell by the look on your face
It's another day of fastin'
I can tell by the length of the shadow
That your face is castin'

And you look both ways before you pray
Just to see who's watching you today

It's just your altar ego and it's so hard to know
(You don't know)
Beneath the piety, the hidden vanity begins to show
It's just your altar ego and you don't even know
(You don't know)
And you won't even grow 'til His Spirit strikes a blow
To your altar ego, altar ego
(Altar ego, altar ego)

You love to be seen by men
In all the public places
And you always pick the best of the seats
You've got the social graces

Can you be so proud of respect you've won
When your left hand knows what your right has done

It's just your altar ego and it's so hard to know
(You don't know)
Beneath the piety, the hidden vanity begins to show
It's just your altar ego and you don't even know
(You don't know)
And you won't even grow 'til His Spirit strikes a blow
To your altar ego, altar ego
(Altar ego, altar ego)

Turn around and face the One
Who knows your heart
He knows your heart

And you look both ways before you pray
Just to see who's watching you today

It's just your altar ego and it's so hard to know
(You don't know)
Beneath the piety, the hidden vanity begins to show
It's just your altar ego and you don't even know
(You don't know)
And you won't even grow 'til His Spirit strikes a blow
To your altar ego, altar ego, altar ego, altar ego
(Altar ego, altar ego, altar ego, altar ego, altar ego, altar ego)
(Altar ego, altar ego, altar ego, altar ego)
