The Pharisees

When some men of faith brought a paralytic to be healed,
Opening the roof when they placed his bed before Jesus
When the forgiving grace of the almighty was revealed
The fault-finders placed before him, their malicious thesis

Could eyes filled with coal dust find an unknown way easily?
The dusk of ignorance blocked them from recognizing him.
Aren't these, more

Modern day pharisees

The Holy Spirit through our souls searches
and in despair silently He cries:
there are so many Pharisees in churches,
exhibiting hypocrisy and lies.

About Christ abundantly they know,
their knowledge they're happy to parade,
but not His holy image they show,
preferring to fake and masquerade.

Insulting Jesus Christ, our living God,
they're blind to His teaching's higher goals.
Theology so often twisted, flawed,
is

The Pharisees

The Pharisees

In retrospect, when looking back,
   I did not realize, at the time
how could these people just attack,
   if you're so righteous; "what's the crime?"
is there something I am missing
   all this hatred for just one man
made me realize why I'm listening,
   for I am blessed to understand

they took his words and twisted them

What Some Pharisees Overhead

All that we had encountered
Of God, Fear kowtowed to.
Yet this, for sinner's relief
This, piteous, soaked through
Are we, here and now, told is
That face,the very same
Behind all that skied displeasure;
A vengefulness to name!

Gods Plan

You can hear them talking
The ruthless things they say
Sure there’s strength in the numbers
The self-righteous like it that way

Their tassels embellished and long
Their words - obnoxiously right
Bow to all their glory
Worship what they say – believe with all your might

Their presentation is one of pure virtue
The reality - so much pain
The suffering occurs
Awareness of self

Scribes and Pharisees


Woe unto you, 
scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites!
Matt. 23:13


You tell men that God has changed,
that the Holy Ancient One today is not the same
Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
Your written and spoken words are the forger of chains
With your unrighteous pens,
you’ve swapped out the word of God,
and inserted the traditions of men
Saying that the children should be honored,
and not

Pharisees and Scribes

"Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written" 
Yet the Pharisees were not at all shy in so being very smitten
As they had absolutely no clue as to whom had just spoke
It was our Lord and Savior and yet still nothing inside awoke

They pursued Him upon His way testing Him time and

Our Modern Day Pharisees and Sadducees

A Pharisee was fair you see,
Because with the resurrection they understood.
But the Sadducees were called “sad-u-see”,
Because they did not believe that the teaching of 
The resurrection was any good.
Both groups were very pompous you see,
And thought they were better than everyone else on the scene.
And even when Jesus Himself showed up at the grounds,
It made

Pharisees

They swallow camels,
Strain at gnats and make ten times
Worse their followers.
