Poem
All of our righteousness are as filthy rags I do believe that's what I read We all fall short of the glory of God I know that's what my bible said. But there are some of you that don't have a clue You think yourselves an exception to these rules You think you are wise and perfect in God's eyes When in reality, you're nothing but fools. You judge all of mankind making yourself blind To your own faults, or you pretend to have none You curse all men who are submerged in their sin While forgetting the things that you've done. You're in church every week and when its your turn to speak You speak loudly, for you love to be heard You should keep it in mind while impressing mankind That your actions speak louder than your words. It is church goers like you when you do what you do That causes God to quickly take offense You skillfully dodge all blame and hide in God's name However, there are many ways to straddle the fence. Now don't get me wrong for I do not go along With the things that men are doing today But I can't throw a stone when I've many faults of my own I just tell people about God the right way. You and your kind who are so stupid and blind Build yourselves up by knocking others down Because they're not like you and don't do what you do You say that they're lost, and will not get a crown. You sit in high places and walk about with two faces Seeming godly, if only in your eyes You tell your sisters and brothers that they're better than others But I know that this is nothing but lies. Think what you may but come judgement day When the Master has completed His reaping You'll stand in His glory and we'll know the true story For He'll reveil the secrets that you're keeping. When God sees your mess He will not be impressed By what you have or what you think you may know He'll take just one look, see your name not in His book Then it will be off to hell you will go. You could change this sad ending if you stopped your pretending To be perfect and all holier than thou Stop hiding your evil ways and do as God says Then you'll be saved, but the time is right now.
