In the church
There is spiritual decay
Confusion besets many
They can't tell their right from their left
Men steal in the name of God
People are defrauded
Severally putting the Lord to test
Misrepresenting the testimony that they bear
Adultery even among the shepherds of the flock
Confusion and perplexity in the midst of the sheep
Thus fulfilling the adage
Strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter
The church is busy
Busy doing nothing
They are in hot pursuit for the wind
Only to reap whirl wind
Evangelism is pushed to the background
Fundraising is brought to lime light
We forget so easily
That Jesus is the reason
For our existence
He alone is our priority
Nothing takes His place
Self proclaimed men of God
Bring disgrace to the Name
The world mocks us
The Name of our God profaned
Because of the very people
Who ought to bear His Name
Slowly,we drift away
Gradually missing it
The whole point of why we were called
To shine forth as light
Being a city set upon a hill
Purposely kept there by God
In view for all to see
Yet we have chosen to recoil
And retreat into the shells
Of immorality, stagnancy and hypocrisy
Christian life has become a myth
Holiness, now fictitious
Painting the righteous life as unachievable
Grace is disdained
But out of this seeming darkness
Threatening to envelope the Church
Comes forth light
For surely there will be a shaking
And only the permanent will remain
The remnant,the few, the chosen
Men who unadulteratedly
Serve God
Not pretentiously but truly
Worshiping God with all their hearts
Making the difference where many had failed
Pointing men to this God
Who is so real, so true, so pure and forever righteous !
