FORGIVE THE WRONG

Woe to those that have
Become as the Pharisees
That won't step out
Of their religious box
Woe to those that
Stand on high ground
And won't get into a ditch
To save an ox
Woe to those that preach religion
That will send you straight to hell
In the end, to have it all fail
Thy terribleness hath decieved thee,
And the pride of thine heart,
O thou that dwellest
In the clefts of the rock,
That holdest the height of the hill;
Though thou shouldest make
Thy nest as high as the eagle,
I will bring you down
From there saith the Lord!
Woe to the congregation
That listens to easy words
Woe to those that believe the sermon
Where there's no cross or faith heard
Woe to those that
Are full of dead mans bones
Forgive us, the word
Is rarely opened in our homes
Woe to the time spent
Trying to get them through the door
Forget about our knees to the floor
Woe to the raffle that fills the seat
Only to have them
Take what is offered and retreat
A hotdog, a coke and a bag of ice
When all we need
Is the manifested power of
JESUS CHRIST!!!
In this i know where i belong
Please Lord Jesus, forgive the wrong

I love your title and also your poem.

Personally I found that almost all of us believers go through stages in our lives that the Pharisee spirit rules our hearts and minds - the loveless dragon ruling with the lawless loving prostitute riding his back. Forgiving the wrong is essential therefore!


The Word spoken in Love for God, ourself and our neighbour within - ought to destroys such times in our lives though. We will never be able to face Jesus or our Heavenly Father with Joy at His Coming alive within - John 14 - if this hasn't happened - rather gnashing of teeth.

Good work sis - be most blessed!

How right ,well said... I like the rythm of the lines "of those who stand on high ground but won't step down to save an ox' Such relevant lines to take to heart. Thanks.

you did what lots of people don't. You saw both sides. Some are to "holy" to help a sinner. Some too lazy and self focused, and just sling soda at them to ease their own itching consiances. Both aren't good.
Good job.

This is very eye-opening and powerful. It speaks of true direction and surely could not have been written without being guided by our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Thanks for sharing,

I thoroughly enjoyed your poem, it is my constant prayer that God will forgive all those that has stewardship in some area or the other and do not do what they are called to do. Many do not realize what they are doing, as they have been deceived but some do know and they are the deceivers of the faith. Pray your poem, for America is under a great spiritual attack and if we do not look up we will die down. Also thanks for your encouragement. It is not in our strength ever because everything belongs to God. It is his forgiveness, his peace, his love, his air, his body, his everything. We are his, the works of his own hands.

I really enjoyed this poem. It speaks a lot of truth...we are called to live a life in Christ, not just when we go to church or when times are convenient. His love needs to permeate our core so all of our actions are the outpouring of thankfulness. Thanks for your words!

Thanks for your powerful words. Our aim is not to be religious. Today many only teach the love side of God and people are seduced by this love side and don't understand the power of love and mercy. We must speak up abput certain issues. Won't you join me? God bless you. Amen.

Woe to those that preach religion
That will send you straight to hell
In the end, to have it all fail


How true this is. In the end I am afraid there will be many deceived. God bless your courage in writing this. We have no fear of God in this generation and that is most tragic for us. Keep writing for His glory. Thank you for your critique on my article "I Thirst" I give Him all the glory for it touching your heart. In Christ's Love,

I like your "voice" in this poem with all the warnings. I always smile when I read about the Pharisees. Then your message turns to the readers with "forgive us" -- putting yourself with the above mentioned (was it Nehemiah that prayed, identifying himself with "sinners"?) I like your modern touch with the "hotdog, Coke, and ice". You've left the reader with a lot to consider. Nice work on this poem.
