James Heath Poet Pastoral

Hypocrite

I WAS A CHRISTIAN A LONG TIME 
BEFORE I BECAME A TRUE CHRISTIAN 
AND I KNEW THE WORD, AND MAN!!! 
COULD I TALK THE TALK... 
BUT I WAS JUST BEING, RELIGIOUS 
WITH MY "JESUS SAVES" PLATE, ON MY CAR 
JUST BEING A HYPOCRITE, KNOWING, 
I DON'T WALK THE WALK 
SO PROUD OF THE KNOWLEDGE, I HAD IN THE WORD 
WHEN KNOWLEDGE, IS NEVER, ENOUGH 
MY DEEDS WERE EXTERNAL...CONVICTION, ELUDED MY HEART 
THE CHURCH WORK I DID, WAS WITHOUT THE RIGHT MOTIVES 
I DID IT TO BE IN THAT, "CIRCLE" 
BUT ALL DONE IN VAIN, FOR NOWHERE, DID GOD PLAY A PART 

I WAS JUDGMENTAL, AND I CRITICIZED 
THE MEMBERS ATTENDING MY CHURCH 
SHOOK HANDS WITH THE PASTOR, BUT GOD KNOWS, I SPOKE ON HIM TOO! 
ONE FOOT IN THE KINGDOM, AND ONE IN THE WORLD 
WITH TOO MUCH WORLD NOW IN THE CHURCH 
EXPOSING MY HEART THROUGH MY FOUL MOUTH AND THINGS THAT I DO 
MY SERVICE TO GOD WAS ALL USELESS 
'CAUSE REMEMBER, MY MOTIVES, WERE WRONG 
AND GOD HAD TO WORK ON MY ATTITUDE, TO CHANGE MY WAYS... 
AND WITH TIME, I BECAME A TRUE CHRISTIAN 
WHO WALKS IN HIS LOVE AND HIS LIGHT 
I LIVE TO PERFORM HIS GOOD WILL, FOR THE REST OF MY DAYS 

AMEN!
