Poem
Wake up church! Why are you sleeping? The harvest is ripe and it's yours for the reaping See this world is so busy following the beat That while they dance our kids are dying in these streets Yet here you are, with their hope living inside you Sitting comfortably in your seat never leaving the third pew I wonder how you got here, how you fell in such deep slumber Literally a saint marching in but adding none to the number Your Samson like spirit, started strong and set apart You were chosen from the womb to be kept close to the Master's heart Then this Delilah of deception formed only to afflict you Mixed her coldness with your fire, which caused God to spew you This Devil of division lured you in her palace of persuasion Making up fables and fallacies that would shake your very foundation And she swung her hips of hatred and hypocrisy She seduced from you your secret and bound you up in philosophy So when your enemy came in like a flood They caught you with your guard down There was no standard against him so you continued to stay bound But this isn't the end for you , what we know from past history Is that Christ came to open the eyes of the blind and set the captives free
