Church

There all smiles when your there
So happy you gave
They sure do love my food
Love my money
Love my works
Love my giving
But when I need you
You disappear
There are those amoung you that I call brother
And you like to use the word brother with me
But this night
This one night
Where is my pastor
No where to be found
He refuses to come
He doesn't want to get involved
My brothers oh where are you?
I called unto you
And you came not
I needed you
And you didn't want to help
There is no excuse
No pressing matter
Oh one who called me brother
The one time I needed you
You didn't come
Oh teacher oh brother
You love me
I know you do
But you had guest
And you chose them
I know you wanted to
You cared to a point
And you I can still call a brother
Your deeds in the past show it
I forgive you three
But you made me cry
Your not my pastor
Your not my brother
You brother hurt me
What a lesson
A real show stopper
Goodbye church
Goodbye oh ones who eat at my table and drink my wine
But when I ask you to come and wipe up the dogs urine stain once
You all don't come and I needed you
But only God was there through it all
And my family by carnel blood
They are there
My backwards family more holy in heart than the pastor
More loving than my brother
More sinful to look at than anyone in church
But they where there
And they loved me and helped me
Oh pastor
I put you on high
But it was a platform of air
And the bollon just went pop
I would have been there for you
If you would call at 3am and said I need $500 for bail and a ride
I would have been there
I would have offered you the spare room
And breakfast
I know Jesus is working in my heart
But I don't see him working in yours
Oh where are you oh church
Oh where is the example
Oh 40 years of pride how come you don't show
Oh acts where are you
Oh brothers who died with brothers where are you?
Oh great ones of God where are you?
Is there kindness in people?
Or is this a business?
Because my heart is in it for God
I gave freely from the heart
And recived a bruised heart
Now I know why God gives me so much
I know why my prayers work
I know why I command the rain
I know why I command angels by the thousands
Why satan hates me so
Why evil cowers before me
Why God glorifies me
Why I am given power greater than most
Because I follow Christ
I deny myself
I stumble and get back up
I singly focus on Him
I hold on tight
I confess my wicked heart
I ask for help
I ask for more
I'm not afraid to suffer offence for Him
I worship and obey Him
I believe in Him
I love him turely
And because of that
He will lift me up
And put me high
And I will be the light
I will be the salt
Because He is with me
And we are one
If anyone is reading this
Don't lose hope
Don't give up
This is just a new door opening
And something has to close first
And I'm gonna worship and glorfy God as I cry
Because something big is coming
I can't see it
But I know it's coming
The best is always last ;)
