When did you let
Your religion consume your humanity
I heard you call it
“Christianity”
Jesus never did that.
He never sold out to the rules of men
That’s why they crucified Him.
His crown of thorns awarded Him
By the Keepers of the “Same”
There’s nothing in a name
When the person named cannot be seen
In it.

So
When did your rules
Become his words in your mind
Vanity
Insanity
Devoid of true humanity
I heard you call it
“Christianity”
Jesus never did that
He never let them hem Him in
That’s why they couldn’t handle Him
Sinner
Glutton
Drunkard
Hangin out with “them”

You
Pay for the pews
With the bad news
That everyone else is going to burn
Jesus never said that
You did not listen well
He only threatened
The Pharisees with hell
He put the fire of His truth
Upon the ruthless religious leaders
He punished them
Before all men
With parables

His words were jewels
Good News
For the poor, the oppressed, the afflicted
How beautiful the feet of them
that set the captives
FREE
Love is the law of God you see
Service is the call of God so be
A friend of God
Who so loved the world
He sent His only Son
To share His life with everyone

Yea,
That’s what Jesus did
Sinner
Glutton
Drunkard
Died for “them”
And when His suffering was through
Cried out, “Father forgive “them”
They don’t know what they do
Yea,
He even died for you
When did you let your religion
Consume your humanity
I heard you call it
“Christianity”
Jesus never did that

“let the one with ears to hear ……….
Hear”
