[10] Keep Christ in Christian

This gospel-blues protest song moves at a slow 6/8, driven by a raw stomp box pulse and earthy Dobro riffs, The Hammond B3 adds deep, swirling textures, while a rough-around-the-edges choir fills the chorus with tight but imperfect chapel harmonies, highlighting the track’s grit and warmth

[Verse 1] You fight for Christmas like Christ needs defense, But your love’s grown cold behind the picket fence. You build a manger made of pride, While the poor sleep out on the other side. [Chorus] Keep Christ in Christian — not just in a word, In the hands that serve, in the hearts that hurt. Don’t preach His name like a battle cry, If you won’t bear His cross or die. [Verse 2] You light your trees, you hang your creed, But mercy’s the fruit the world still needs. You shout “Merry Christmas!” from your store, But Christ is knocking at your neighbor’s door. [Chorus] Keep Christ in Christian — let the idols fall, He ain’t for sale in your shopping mall. You want the crown but skip the scars, You’ve built a church of empty jars. [Bridge] (choir and organ swell) The Word made flesh, not the Word made brand, Grace ain’t cheap, and truth ain’t planned. Incarnate love — it bleeds, it bends, It dies for foes, and calls them friends. [Final Chorus] Keep Christ in Christian — not on a sign, But in your heart, your bread, your wine. If Advent means He’s come again, Then live like Christ can still be born in men. [Outro] You can keep your slogans, I’ll keep the Lamb, He’s not a cause — He’s the Great I Am
