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
