Words Weaponized

(Verse 1) In this world of shadows and light, some say words from the Bible, Point at women and in judgment write, with hearts so filled with strife. Proverbs twenty-one, verse nineteen, a chapter to malign, But let's dig deeper, uncover the truth, before it's too late. (Chorus) Oh Lord, we lift up these verses, that were used as a weapon, To silence those who are different, and hide their own sin. Teach us to see with Your eyes, love in every heart, And reveal the context of words, hidden deep in the dark. (Verse 2) Proverbs 21:19, they claim it’s your judgment on women, Yet missed its essence, the lesson on greed and excess within men. "He who loves her will have a good return," the verse should remind us, That love brings blessing, not blame or discrimination to any group. (Chorus) Oh Lord, we lift up these verses, that were used as a weapon, To silence those who are different, and hide their own sin. Teach us to see with Your eyes, love in every heart, And reveal the context of words, hidden deep in the dark. (Bridge) In all scriptures, may we find light, not shadows or hate, Reflecting truth for everyone's sight, beyond any mistake. May every verse inspire kindness and understanding, not fear, For in God’s word, love should be clear, guiding us to no more tears. (Chorus) Oh Lord, we lift up these verses, that were used as a weapon, To silence those who are different, and hide their own sin. Teach us to see with Your eyes, love in every heart, And reveal the context of words, hidden deep in the dark.
