Untitled

We speak of You

Sing of Your glory

We are awed by Your greatness

We go by trying to convince this world

That what we do is live for You

But we contradict our outspoken love

Share a picture

In the morning something depicting Your love

At night something to fill another heart with lust

Social media shows our double mindedness

Yet we are not ashamed

We preach sin and forgiveness

But we do not speak of how much better we should be

Go and tell a stranger they should learn the truth

And we turn around and share our sins

We wonder why the world can't see past us

Why can't they see that we are human not perfect

But they do see what we share

And we are not sharing Your love

So how do we preach what should be

And not live more like it?

How can we convince a stranger

Or a loved one

To be more like you, Jesus

If we are not edifying ourselves

But putting You to shame
