All Inclusive

All Inclusive Why is it that our churches today are so selective We have to examine people’s lives like a judgmental detective We feel like we have to interview people before they are allowed in We don’t look at their good, we just magnify their sin We search them like a doctor with our analysis Then we take what we find and state our hypothesis We find that they are sinful, they’re not at all clean We keep on doing this it becomes a routine No wonder why people run away from the church We do nothing to them but divert them from their search They’re searching for a savior, they go looking to God But we make it seem like an exclusive club, but we’re totally fraud So we cut people down with our words like a sword We show them the worst, we don’t act like our Lord We have to put down the swords and throw them away Because who gave us the power to say who can stay? What if God showed this attitude toward us? To see if we are worthy, he wouldn’t even have to discuss We are all bound by our constant choice of sin Without God’s grace, there would be nowhere for us to begin We have to remember that all of us are the same We so often think we are perfect and misinterpret God’s name We have to remember that we all come from the same place We would all be lost forever if it wasn’t for God’s grace We start to feel proud and we think we’re better than others We have to confess this, we can’t hide under the covers So we have to stop looking and focusing on people’s sin Cause God doesn’t care about who we were or where we’ve been He loves us despite of all our sin, he cares for us all He came to break down this judgmental wall We need to stop judging others and stop being so abusive Cause we have to remember that God’s kingdom is all inclusive
