christian music john mayer jars of clay thailand bangkok james conrad
Christian music combining thoughtful lyrics of writers like C.S. Lewis and musical styles like Jars of Clay and John Mayer, James Conrad has been a missionary/
I combine the spiritual concepts presented by authors such as C.S. Lewis and a musical style similar to Jars of Clay.

Story behind the song
Inspired by CS Lewis: Till we have faces & 1 Cor 13:12
Lyrics
I found a costume in the closet Vanity and pockets full of pride I wrapped my ugliness in mystery So hidden no one even missed me I saw a mirror on the bookshelf Read the words that tore my world apart The truth was burning that’s when I froze Where are the emperor’s new clothes After all the games I’ve played After all masquerade I can’t even face myself After being so unreal What’s a man supposed to feel When I can’t even face myself When I can shed away the mask When I can do all that is asked It takes a life time to run the race Just to see You face to face I put You on the stand and questioned Who and why and what and where and how But why should You be moved to answer A faceless voice lost in the crowd I am hanging by a thread After all I’ve done and said I can’t even face myself What’s the notion in the head That keeps a spirit clothed and fed When I can’t even face myself When I can peel away the skin When I can probe deep with in It takes a life time to run the race I will see You face to face When I can drop the disguise When I can lose all the lies It takes a life time but with Your grace I will see You face to face I’m learning to speak, see and hear The man I will be is still unclear When I can finish up the race I will see You face to face I’m dying to self learning to live Love isn’t love until it gives It takes a life time but with Your grace I will see You face to face
