Faithless...

I’ve been confused, time and again

And the author of confusion is not God

Does that too, include you church?

You have had me perplexed, more than one time

Is that fault solely mine?
Is your purpose to drive away or beckon closer?

Is the word for the saint, or the sinner?

How do we learn, about a God of love

But in the midst receive from you hate?

How do you teach that we aren’t perfect

But present an image of self righteous, faultless, egotistical perfection?

How do you swear by the scripture that says not to judge

Yet turn up your nose at us, yes us

For we fall down...and WE get up

Again, and again...doesn’t it say, forgive seventy times seven?

Apparently you’ve been keeping track, and I’ve run out of chances...

I’ve heard sermon after sermon “No one has a heaven or hell to throw you in”

And “In order to truly live, you must kill your flesh”

Well neither do you, church, and your funeral is past due
