(How Dare You) Use My Name Lyrics

You sing the hymn, but don't hear the song

Your smile's wide, but the joy is gone

Partake the bread, but don't drink the wine

Read the verse, but won't find the divine

How dare you use my name

To take away my grace

Must you condemn and shame

To push away the blame

Of making examples out of outcasts

Who refuse to be the same

How dare you use my name

In any other way

In the pews, but you fall asleep (don't fall asleep)

Shun the closet, but scream in the streets

Won't forgive, yet the mercy's mine (mercy please)

When I've said 490 times

How dare you use my name (his name)

To take away my grace

Must you condemn and shame (shame)

To push away the blame

Of making examples out of outcasts (no)

Who refuse to be the same

How dare you use my name (in vain)

In any other way

You don't even know me

Yet you try to change my will

So many goats in sheep's clothing

Since others perish, peace be still

Why deny your love for them when I've paid the bill

Shun the cross that you'll never bear

Hate the sin, but the sinner's there

How dare you use my name

To take away my grace

Must you condemn and shame

To push away the blame

Of making examples out of outcasts (no)

Who refuse to be the same

How dare you use my name (in vain)

In any other way

In any other way
