Lyrics

They stand up front all polished and bright Talking of heaven but who's seen that light I've heard too many rules on what not to do But my heart keeps saying I want the truth I won't play the part won't just stand in line I want the God who walks through fire with mine No halo for me I want it real Just as I am the way I feel No halo for me no mask no show Let the cover fall let the real me show Cause I know He loves me so With scars and flaws and still won't let go I'm not perfect I've got scars and dust But that's what makes me real that's what makes me tough He didn't come for those who think they're all done But for the ones whose fire still burns on I won't play the part won't just stand in line I want the God who walks through fire with mine No halo for me I want it real Just as I am the way I feel No halo for me no mask no show Let the cover fall let the real me show Cause I know He loves me so With scars and flaws and still won't let go No costume no stage light Just my heart in your light No halo for me I want it real Just as I am the way I feel No halo for me no mask no show Let the cover fall let the real me show Cause I know He loves me so With scars and flaws and still won't let go No halo for me I want it real Just as I am the way I feel No halo for me no mask no show Let the cover fall let the real me show

About this song

Halos are a medieval religious invention, not biblical. Yeshua did not wear one. His apostles did not wear one. Mike's statement of this truth: "No Halo for Me".

The word "halo" comes from the Greek hálōs (ἅλως, "threshing floor, court") and originally referred to the ring of light around sun or moon. In Christian iconography from the 4th century on it was used for the disc of light around saints' heads.

1 Peter 2:9: "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession." Plural. You. All sons are holy, not a few elect with special status.

Mike's track is reformation against the staging of saints. There are specific forms of this staging in our culture: worship leaders as stars, pastors as influencers, books as personality cult. No halo for me is Mike's return to son-humility.

Yeshua himself was without halo. His glory was inward, not iconographic. Mike's sound carries this anti-halo statement as a call to real holiness without holy-glow.
