I'M Not Religious

You say  your not religious
Well neither my friend am I
It was man that made religion
It was Christ that came for us to die

He came to earth with a purpose
And that purpose was to set us free
From the guilt, the sin, the daily shame
All chains of captivity

It was the religious leaders of his day
That used their power as a tool
It was Jesus that came to do away
With all the man made rules

Rules that held the people down
The same as they do today
Invite Jesus into your heart right now
And let freedom have its way

You say your not religious
Well neither my friend am I
It was man that made religion
It was Christ that came for us to die

Well written, I understand your point of view, organized religion has for the most part been hypocritical, not representing the truth that sets us free. Accepting Jesus as our saviour is essential, but belief must mature into faith, that is based on accurate knowledge. That accurate knowledge must come from somewhere! Really well said!

Don't get me wrong, I'm in church every chance I get! Iron sharpens iron and I need all the sharpening I can get!
