So You Say

So you say you go to church

Fellowship you do not search

Walking with Christ not your thing

Offerings to Christ not bring

Live your life the way you want

Though religion you do flaunt

Follow idols, that’s your gig

True commitments, not so big

Selfishness it rules your life

Sinful practices, they are rife

Wasting time on what’s just trash

Not consider God to ask

Hypocrite, that’s who you are

You will not get very far

Time is ticking, going by

While your sins from God you hide

He’s not blinded to your plight

Knows you’ve given up the fight

Knows you’ve given into sin

Knows you’re losing, not to win

If surrender to Him do

He’ll forgive you, through and through,

Give you new life to begin

If you give up all for Him

“You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said: ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’” Matthew 15:7-9 ESV
