Mysterion Mixtapes: Mirror Don't Lie

Mirror Don't Lie

Verse 1

I see the lines, I see the scars,

The miles I’ve wandered, the battles hard.

I wore the rags of an angry man,

But You took my shame with a steady hand.

Pre-Chorus 1

Now the lies are gone, I step in the light,

Grace pulls me forward, my soul takes flight.

Chorus

The mirror don’t lie, the cross makes new,

I’m dressed in mercy, I’m dressed in truth.

The man I was is left behind,

The mirror don’t flatter, the mirror don’t lie.

Verse 2

The old man fades, I can feel him fall,

Your voice is stronger, it drowns it all.

Now kindness and patience are stitched inside,

I walk in love, I walk in light.

Pre-Chorus 2

Every chain is gone, I’m walking upright,

Clothed in Your image, restored in might.

Chorus

The mirror don’t lie, the cross makes new,

I’m dressed in mercy, I’m dressed in truth.

The man I was is left behind,

The mirror don’t flatter, the mirror don’t lie.

Bridge

Put off the old, put on the new,

Renewed in the image created by You.

Put on the new, created by You.

Chorus

The mirror don’t lie, the cross makes new,

I’m dressed in mercy, I’m dressed in truth.

The man I was is left behind,

The mirror don’t flatter, the mirror don’t lie.

Outro

I’m a new man… oh, I’m alive…

The mirror don’t lie… the mirror don’t lie…

The mirror don’t flatter, the mirror don’t lie.

Truth cut through what I tried to keep.

Not a shackle of dread, not a heavy demand,

Just the quiet strength of a God fearin’ man.

The crowd may run, but I hold my ground,

Grace in the silence is where I’m found.

A fire for right that I hold near.

Tempted by roads that would break the plan,

I stay the course as a God fearin’ man.

Every choice I face, I weigh with care,

Knowing His presence is always there.

Heart set steady on what I must do.

Strength is born where the meek grow strong.

Freed by the truth, I still understand,

The power and peace of a God fearin’ man.

Heart set steady on what I must do.

Justice and mercy guide my stand,

From first faint breath to the last amen,

Let the world remember a God fearin’ man.

Pilgrims Road

Verse 1 – Justification

Once stood guilty, debt in my hand,

Judge came down, said, “I’ll take that stand.”

Stood in my place, bore the weight of my crime,

By His gift of grace, I was freed for all time.

Chains fell silent, the burden rolled,

Peace with God settled, a story told.

Chorus

Walking on the Pilgrims Road,

Past, present, future, flows.

Every step the story grows,

Walking on the Pilgrims Road.

Verse 2 – Sanctification

Now I rise each morning, boots on the ground,

Learning His ways as the miles roll down.

The road can be narrow, the climb can be steep,

But the Shepherd’s voice is the one I keep.

Step after step, with the dust in my eyes,

I’m being shaped for the day I arrive.

Chorus

Walking on the Pilgrims Road,

Past, present, future, flows.

Every step the story grows,

Walking on the Pilgrims Road.

Verse 3 – Glorification

There’s a horizon my heart can see,

Where the broken body’s raised in victory.

Every sorrow gone, every tear made dry,

Eternal light in a clearer sky.

No more shadows, no more night,

Only glory, only life.

Chorus

Walking on the Pilgrims Road,

Past, present, future, flows.

Every step the story grows,

Walking on the Pilgrims Road.

Bridge

One road, one journey, one grace divine,

The start, the struggle, the end all aligned.

Saved, being saved, and saved to come,

The song of the pilgrim forever sung.

Chorus – Final

Walking on the Pilgrims Road,

Past, present, future, flows.

Every step the story grows,

Walking on the Pilgrims Road.

Devil Got Hands

Verse 1

He comes with a jab — then a hook to the chin,

Whisperin’ lies — tryin’ to pull me back in.

I know the playbook, but I stumble and fall,

Still the Bell of Grace — keeps callin’ it all.

Pre-Chorus

Corner shouts louder — truth cuts through the noise,

Father, Son, Spirit — my Corner Man’s voice.

Chorus

I square my shoulders — plant my feet where I stand,

Bible in my grip — it’s the strength of my hands.

Faith is my weapon — more mighty than man’s,

Still I stand my ground — ’cause the Devil Got Hands.

Verse 2

Uppercut of anger — a blow full of doubt,

Sin throws the punches — tryin’ to knock me out.

But I’m leanin’ on scripture — blood in my veins,

Armor of heaven — runs deep through my frame.

Pre-Chorus

Bell keeps ringin’ — round after round,

Mercy lifts me — every time I go down.

Chorus

I square my shoulders — plant my feet where I stand,

Bible in my grip — it’s the strength of my hands.

Faith is my weapon — more mighty than man’s,

Still I stand my ground — ’cause the Devil Got Hands.

Bridge

Wipe my brow — wrap my wounds, whisper the call,

Spirit in my corner — won’t let me fall.

Send me back swingin’ — with the gospel’s command,

My Bible the weapon — in each of my hands.

Final Chorus

I fight on strong — with a Savior that’s true,

He carried the cross — so He carries me too.

Grace is the anthem — the hope of all lands,

Still I stand my ground — ’cause the Devil Got Hands.

Outro

Yeah, Devil Got Hands…

But the Lord’s got me.

Victory In Me

Verse 1

In this desert where I walk each day,

The devil waits to pull me away.

But I’ve got strength he cannot see,

The Spirit of God is alive in me.

Greater is He who lives in me,

Than the chains of sin or the enemy.

When the darkness comes, I will not flee,

Victory lives inside of me.

I get weary, I fall down,

But His mercy turns me ‘round.

The Spirit lifts, the fire stays,

Guides my steps through trials and days.

Greater is He who lives in me,

Than the chains of sin or the enemy.

When the darkness comes, I will not flee,

Victory lives inside of me.

No temptation strong enough,

To tear me from my Savior’s love.

By His Spirit I am free,

Victory lives inside of me.

Greater is He who lives in me,

Than the chains of sin or the enemy.

Cosmic Introduction

Verse 1

Before the clocks, before the sky –

Before the who, what, where, or why –

There was a Word — not just a sound,

But truth itself that shook the ground.

It wasn’t shouted, wasn’t screamed,

It simply was — the voice that dreamed.

Chorus

He was the Word before the page,

The song before the stage.

He carved the light from nothingness,

And wore our form in tenderness.

The heavens danced in full eruption —

For this was His

Cosmic Introduction.

Verse 2

The Light came walkin’ down our street,

With eyes that saw what hearts repeat.

Some passed Him by, some looked away,

But grace don’t beg — it walks, it stays.

To those who let Him in their door,

He gave a name, and gave much more.

Chorus

He was the Word before the page,

The song before the stage.

He carved the light from nothingness,

And wore our form in tenderness.

The heavens danced in full eruption —

For this was His

Cosmic Introduction.

Bridge

No one’s seen God face to face...

But the Son,

He told the story.

Not in ink,

But in skin.

Not in law,

But in glory.

Final Chorus

He was the Word before the page,

The song before the stage.

He carved the light from nothingness,

And wore our form in tenderness.

The heavens danced in full eruption —

For this was His

Cosmic Introduction.

Outro

Let there be light...

Let there be love...

Let Him be known...

The Word from above.

The Clockmaker

Verse 1

The clock ticks on with steady grace,

Each moment locked in time and place.

Its hands obey the gears inside,

Bound to the rhythm none can hide.

We live within its measured face,

A world of hours, a pulsing race.

We ask of time what came before—

But time itself has closed the door.

Pre-Chorus

Tick by tick, we chase the line,

But the Maker moves outside of time.

Chorus

The Clockmaker, turning free,

No hands can bind eternity.

The flame, the first, the last, the then—

He always was, He always is, Amen.

Verse 2

Then comes the truth, both sharp and kind:

The Maker dwells outside the grind.

No tick, no tock, no morn, no night—

He is the flame behind all light.

He forged the spring, He shaped the gear,

He carved the laws that hold us here.

But He is not what He designed—

He moves outside the frame of time.

Pre-Chorus

Ask the years to mark His start,

But He just is, the whole, the heart.

Chorus

The Clockmaker, turning free,

No hands can bind eternity.

The flame, the first, the last, the then—

He always was, He always is, Amen.

Bridge

And if we pause, and hush the noise,

We might still hear the Maker’s voice.

Not bound to chimes or spinning hands—

But calling out from timeless lands.

Final Chorus

The Clockmaker, turning free,

No hands can bind eternity.

The flame, the first, the last, the then—

He always was, He always is, Amen.

(He always was, He always is, Amen…)

One True Heart

Verse 1 – The Lost Sheep

One wanders off where the shadows lie,

Ninety-nine rest under open sky.

The shepherd calls till the night is done,

Lifts the lost and carries the one.

Pre-Chorus

Whispers rise when the lost are found,

Silence breaks with a brighter sound.

Chorus

There is joy in heaven when the night gives way,

Joy in heaven, night gives way!

A song in the unseen at the break of day.

Sing it loud at the break of day!

Not in flawless steps, but in turning start,

Heaven rejoices for one true heart.

Verse 2 – The Lost Coin

One coin slips through the cracks unseen,

The lamp is lit and the floor swept clean.

Hands reach down where the shadows fall,

The smallest thing can be worth it all.

Pre-Chorus

What was missed now becomes the tune,

What was lost makes the angels swoon.

Chorus

There is joy in heaven when the night gives way,

Joy in heaven, night gives way!

A song in the unseen at the break of day.

Sing it loud at the break of day!

Not in flawless steps, but in turning start,

Heaven rejoices for one true heart.

Verse 3 – The Prodigal Son

And a father runs with his arms held wide,

Covers the shame, lifts up the pride.

The wayward child finds his place again,

The feast is set and the world says “Amen.”

Pre-Chorus

Mercy’s home is a love so deep,

Even death cannot make it sleep.

Final Chorus

There is joy in heaven when the night gives way,

Joy in heaven, night gives way!

A song in the unseen at the break of day.

Sing it loud at the break of day!

Not in flawless steps, but in turning start,

Heaven rejoices for one true heart.

Outro

Yes, heaven rejoices for one true heart.
