I wrote this poem today after giving thought to how the world sees Christ Church often as Christian and given the hypocrisy. The love of Christ unfortunately sometimes not enough expressed, revealed and shown by us call us Christian.
Christian believers
A sad paradox indeed
Those who believe
In Christ who bleed
Christ was crucified
Christ died painfully
Christ gave his all
Thus the loss may open our eyes
Therefore the bruising may achieve truly
Unconditional love and acceptance
Understanding without prejudice
An inconceivable concept for some
Causing the conservatives to come undone
Offend the homophobic quickly
This Jesus who died for you and me
Violate the Pharisees traditional theology
Fanatics left for conversions
Preaching repent with risk aversion
Loving, lift and release
A soul insane is hurting
Seeks the self-righteous conversion
The preacher much offers fat
The Minister a powerful testimony
But as for the gentle Savior Christ
Open love welcoming gate
Tenderly kissing every precious soul
Find your love for humanity stolen
Methods, merchandising and critique
Dear God, we have strayed foolishly!
Spirit burn our hearts today!
Come afesh and prepare the way!
Remove all obstacles in the way
Our pride, arrogance and bad
Self-absorbed religion is low.
We have made become fat and played
Causing the love of God, our being delayed
Our pious efforts have produced little
Full of ourselves bite and Quartet
Devouring the other for a quibble
Student painfully on minors
To dispose of daily dying masses
When it is all said and done the hypocritcally
Our life decreases and suddenly passes
Our stiffness towards life is exceeded
Freezing problem without solution
Fascinated by the political platforms
Full of rhetoric and empty promises
Engulfed by lies, we seek to be right
Disappointed and mistaken without view
Our vision perishing with our souls
Know-it-alls illogical, presumptuous
Always angry, undertake and antichoice
For any anti quickly raise us our voice
Helpless and divert the love of God
Our message push and coarse
Brutally force fed nation nauseus
If this is not like us we call Satan
Yet we support the war and militarism
Calling curiously good against evil
My only question is this side are we on?
Maybe could it we're far gone?
Nevertheless the Prince of peace Christ
Calmly and patiently waits for his Church.
To hear humbly continue and sincere search
For the gracious God heart once more
Jesus the Savior, very best friend of sinners.
