It's God After All

You say that you are Catholic What exactly does that mean That you eat fish on Fridays Instead of red meat You say that you are Baptist Never smoke, drink, cuss, nor dance But what else do you try otherwise Given half a chance You say that you are Muslim And pray 3 times a day Does what you love outside the Mosque Make it all okay You say that you are Jewish And only Kosher touches your lips Is that as far as the thoughts of God Rumble in your head Please believe me sincerely I'm not trying to put religion down Just the thoughts and practices That we have let slide too far South It's when we say we are okay Is when we ought to worry As we try and find heavens lights Always in a hurry We take the path of least resistance In our forever foggy minds All along insisting With God we're doing fine Basing our salvation On what it is we do In our work relation Instead of on the truth So whether it is you eat fish Or pray 3 times a day Only let Kosher touch your lips Don't dance the night away Remember religion serves a purpose In what at times we need to find But God himself is what it's all about And His great love divine
