In the Name of God
IN THE NAME OF GOD
So much is said and done
In the name of God
For good, for evil
To give credit or blame
Who are we to use
The name of the Holy One
God Most High
To explain our own actions
Which may be righteous
Or on the contrary
Only a deception
Of what is truly
The will of God
Care must be taken
To avoid misrepresenting
The Creator
Judgment for idle words
Abusing one another
And God’s name
His character defamed
Lies believed brings destruction upon many
Ignorance rules in the heart of
The unredeemed, the unrenewed
Even the knowledgeable
Often lack sound judgment
But in the end
God will not be mocked
And His truth
Will be evident to all
