I Will Repay

I Will Repay My house is called a house of prayer But you have made it into a den of thieves And there’s not a single heart that care Just charlatans with tricks up their sleeves Prosperity is what you seek Works is the ministry that enslaves you You’ve perfected your technique You know the truth, and this is what you do! All of your sacred rituals bore me to tears As your ministry embraces guilt and condemnation My people have been held captive for years You’ve been walking a path of religious indignation You elevate yourself at the expense of the poor As your barns are filled to overflowing You’re not a minister, you’re just an entrepreneur And your popularity is steadily growing The leaven that you use As a salve to my peoples ears Gives rise to some very distorted views Keeping them hostage to their fears And yet, you claim to be satisfied Not knowing you have received your reward It's because of you why my Son is being denied As for your prayers they will continue to be ignored Your truth is your own I will not tolerate this mess So many are heartbroken and alone All you’ve done was witness to the flesh Yes the thief will come in the night As you continue to go about your day As for my people too weak to fight Remember, vengeance is mine I will repay
