562 Knowing Your Own Thoughts and Perspectives Is Key
Chorus
Knowing yourself means knowing what things
in your thoughts and views
go against God and do not fit with or possess the truth.
Verse 1
Things like human arrogance,
self-righteousness and deception
are the corrupt dispositions
that are easy to recognize.
All are deceitful and arrogant,
though to varying degrees.
Chorus
Knowing yourself means knowing what things
in your thoughts and views
go against God and do not fit with or possess the truth.
Bridge
It’s easier to know your dispositions
than it is to know your views and thoughts.
These are deep-rooted.
Verse 2
Your behavior may change slightly,
but there’s still much of your thinking,
views, education and culture
that is in conflict with God,
and which you’ve not unearthed yet.
This is where your fight with God starts.
Chorus
Knowing yourself means knowing what things
in your thoughts and views
go against God and do not fit with or possess the truth.
