Ever looked around and wondered How religion got in such a tangle? So many churches, sects & different faiths It's a wonder we don't strangle! Was it always so confusing? If not, when did it start? When did those who follow the Creator Begin to rip themselves apart? Each group is so self-righteous Thinking only "their" way counts As members turn away in droves And confusion only mounts! Is this what God intended? When He said, "Go forth and teach?" I really doubt that He approves of What I've heard some reverends preach! They are so quick to condemn And predict just who will fall I could have sworn the Bible says That we shouldn't judge at all! Did God issue an amendment To somehow change that rule? And then tell only certain ones? From a select and special pool? Somehow, I kinda doubt it I just don't think He would Give anyone on earth the right To label others bad or good... But that certainly doesn't stop 'em From claiming those who don't believe In whatever 'their' church teaches Are condemned to burn and grieve They say that those without a label Who've placed their trust in God alone Are just lost souls who'll never find The path to Heaven on their own Well I guess they're entitled To their opinions, right or wrong But my faith in such religion Has never been that strong... My trust is in the Bible My faith belongs to God I do my best to walk each day Down the path my Savior trod I believe that He is with me And I know my prayers are heard And as for denomination....well He's never said one word! I'm pretty sure that up in Heaven The only thing that counts Is whether or not you love Him And in the right amount! If you believe He died to save you From the awful penalty of sin And you've asked Him to be your Savior? Then relax....because you're in! Dusty Richardson c 2001 |
