When you look at me you may know me
But there's more than what meets the eye
That's not really me thats the old man
There's a new man that now lives inside
I was changed the day I met Jesus
Though you still see the man sin has scarred
You may know me by what you see
But God knows me by heart
My sins you may remember
But he forgot more than you'll ever know
It happened the day I surrendered
When his blood washed me whiter than snow
You can't judge a book by its cover
It's not the most important part
What's on the inside tells the story
And God knows me by heart
There are those who live good on the outside
But things are much different within
And so often looks are deceiving
They're good folks but still lost in sin
And someday when God's books are opened
In sadness they'll turn to depart
And hear him say I never knew you
Cause I know all my children by heart
My sins you may remember
But he forgot more than you'll ever know
It happened the day I surrendered
When his blood washed me whiter than snow
You can't judge a book by its cover
It's not the most important part
What's on the inside tells the story
And God knows me by heart
What's on the inside tells the story
And God knows me by heart
