Church
I walk into a church
I look at all the staring people
Plastic smiles and wide eyes
Speaking lies with tongues like bee hives
My church is not inside these walls
The tension in the air chokes my lungs
No one is perfect but they don't know
By hiding their pain from the world
Nothing new will grow
Their tongues are like a flame
Speaking things to make us feel ashamed
Why blame us when at first they need
To look into their own hearts and pull out the weeds
Why can't we all be honest and admit we've done wrong?
That way we could help each other
Together we'd all become strong
But until they stop judging me and saying I'm wrong
My church is not inside these walls
But in my head, my heart, and my home
I look at all the staring people
Plastic smiles and wide eyes
Speaking lies with tongues like bee hives
My church is not inside these walls
The tension in the air chokes my lungs
No one is perfect but they don't know
By hiding their pain from the world
Nothing new will grow
Their tongues are like a flame
Speaking things to make us feel ashamed
Why blame us when at first they need
To look into their own hearts and pull out the weeds
Why can't we all be honest and admit we've done wrong?
That way we could help each other
Together we'd all become strong
But until they stop judging me and saying I'm wrong
My church is not inside these walls
But in my head, my heart, and my home

May. 31, 2009 - Got me thinking...
Posted by jerebert I clicked "View Random Blogs" and yours popped up and I'm glad it did. I saw this song about church and thought "FINALLY, someone who feels the same way I do." Your song is very true. We Christians really need to re-evaluate ourselves and build each other up rather than sitting in the back row gossiping about that girl who didn't make the best choices. Instead of talking about how bad other people are, we need to pray and ask God to guide them in there lives and in our own. Anyway, great song.
