The Painted Glass
People love Jesus or so they do profess
The outside brings a smile while the souls a wicked mess
Judgment thoughts flow through the veins
Compassion just a myth
Indeed the love of Jesus is put to the ultimate test
Don’t let your eyes deceive you
Some are rotten to the core
The smile is just a front open window to the soul
In general most are smarter than given credit for
They see right through the painted glass
Full of hate and scorn
Saying you love Jesus
Are more than just some words
It is though put into action
Spreading joy throughout the world
To show a face that does not match
The person deep within
Is a wasted life of not effect
And therein lies the sin
