Christianity

There's a lack of sincerity 

In religion today 

A lack of believers 

Proclaiming "we believe." 

There's a lack of faith

Among those claiming to be faithful 

A lack of trust among those 

Proclaiming to follow God.

So many religions

Creating so many rules,

Teaching us how to "act" 

But not how to pray. 

They show us what it looks like

To be a Christian,

But never actually show us

What being a Christian means. 

We need to open our eyes,

Stop being blinded by the world. 

We're in the world and of the world,

When we should be in it for Christ. 

We need to stop "acting," 

Falsely deceiving the world 

To believe we are Christians,

And start living out the lives

We claim to want so badly. 

We need to come to know Christ

In an intimate way,

And stop proclaiming "Jesus, Jesus," 

If He won't know us, 

come judgement day. 

It's not about the number

Of people you can fool,

It's about your heart,

And having it transformed.

It's about becoming the person

That no one understands,

It's about helping the broken,

Sick, fallen and wicked among men. 

It's when we get our hands dirty,

Reaching out to the poor,

It's when we preach the word of God,

And His words, through us,

Begins to impact the world.

That's when we'll know

We're on the right path,

We're just beginning to know God,

We're uncovering a fraction of His plan. 

You see, we'll never know

What Jesus has in store,

If we keep following the rules,

Society uses to make us blind. 

We'll never know His plan for our lives, 

If we don't break away from rules,

And begin to know Christ.
