Just Because You're A Christian

by mike-hauser

Your friends were floored When you found the Lord Changing your way of life Yet they saw in you Something new Different as day and night Though every now and then You dip your toes in The muddy waters of the mainstream But that's okay It's not like you dip every day Anyways it's only up to your knees "Just because you're a Christian doesn't mean you have a license to sin" You grew up in church Where the lessons you learned Were all grilled into your head Barely leaving a mark Upon your heart To be nurtured and Godly fed Although you know Jesus There's a consensus You're still a babe in the faith Eating soft food and milk Not sure you ever will Taste the true goodness that is The Way "Just because you've been forgiven doesn't mean you have a license to sin" You do everything right Know all the Christian sound bites Pray sometimes when you get the chance Don't drink or smoke Know that dope is for dopes And wouldn't dare dance if given the chance You see the world in its mess And so thankful you're His And with the good as gone you don't associate You dabble in love Hoping that it's enough While in your heart you still hold hate "Just because you're a Christian doesn't mean you have a license to sin"
