Are you the arbiter of all sin, do you know where everyone’s been? The tragedy is not in their act, the tragedy lies in the fact That this world allowed its people to get so desperate they lost all sense of hope or respite Your Loving’s not going to be enough if it doesn’t help them navigate the tough Decisions they have to make, or actions they have to take. Words without a helpful act don’t matter after the fact- Your loving sounds a lot like hate when all you want to do is preach and rate The actions that brought them to this fate. Just because they didn’t have the will to swallow that bitter pill- You could because you had support and love, while they had none of the above! Christ didn’t save with words alone, he knew that we must be shown, He knew when you speak to the oppressed their pain must first be addressed, Words alone don’t always heal and until then those suffering will not feel The love that god holds true, these are the lessons he taught to you. He showed you how to live, he showed you how to give, So why do you still act like its your job to judge the people drowning in their grief Who have never had support, or ever known relief. Your words don’t matter much when every little touch They feel in life is pain and they’re drowning in silent rain, Yeah some people can be saved by reading of the love that he gave- But most people that suffer need more than just the roar Of words and pretty speeches - Jesus himself is the one that teaches If you want to save someone you must reach out- you have to show them without a doubt, Not just speak and then judge, not just proselytize and never budge! Christ didn’t preach about our sin till he’d fed five thousand men! First he saved the woman’s life, then he addressed her spiritual strife! God doesn’t care about his name- he only cares about our pain! That’s why Christ came to this life, so he could suffer and feel our strife- He’s not asking we do the same, he’s asking we stop with the blame! God knows- till they can see through their strife you cant bring the word into their life, Christ didn’t preach to those easy to save, he preached to those with a foot in the grave! His example unto you is what you‘ve failed to really do- He didn’t save the thieves upon the cross with mere words, but by sharing in their loss, He’s not asking you to die, he’s asking that first you reason why, Instead of preaching about their sin stop and ask them how’d it begin, Instead of preaching about their deed did you ever ask them what they need? And if you did was it cloaked in sin and shame Or did you start by simply asking them their name? Hopelessness is the original sin, its where all our pain begin. It’s what Christ came down to fight, it’s the devil in the night, It's what’s wrong with the world today, its why we all have lost our way So lets talk of the here and now, and all the things you do avow, All the sins you want to fight with all your pious rage and might So what’s on the table to discuss? Is greed and hatred the big must? No, cause you would rather talk and shame those whose acts arise from pain. Yes suicides a deadly sin cause it did cause a life to end But their blood is on our hands cause we failed to take a stand, We let the world turn into a place where the desperate are ashamed to show their face Because of something they may have done when they felt there was nowhere to run! Yeah abortion is in there too, its not her sin, that’s on me and you- While you screamed that she is wrong she begged for help all along, You never once acted to ease her pain, you only wanted to preach the shame! Have you ever thought to question why some people’s answer is to die? Did you question why they feel death is the only tabled deal? When Christ said sin no more he didn’t say it in a rage, he wasn’t pompous in his age, He said it on bent knee after he helped the blind to finally see. He said there’s a better way, but he said it after he took the pain away. He never said “I’ll heal you only if you believe” he knew by healing them he’d achieve More than any words ever could and reminded us empty words are never good He didn’t love by preaching law he loved by actions that they saw So before you rage about their sin, tell me how have you acted to help their healing to begin You don’t have to follow a religion or call god a specific name, No single faith has ever gotten it completely right It’s not about dogma, it’s about how we handle earthly plight. You condemn others cause they don’t call god the same name! But by his acts of love and healing He will save us all just the same
