Walk Away
Upon this rock a church to build
And then we pray, “Pews be filled”
Waiting for the sinner man
To accept the Christ, be born again
Giving that tithe once a week
To fund this haven for the meek
But the gates of hell are unafraid
Evil seems to have it made
We perch, debate the Holy Ghost
Wondering which of us has the most
Of God’s favor, we call grace
A free pass to heaven, the Holy Place
Yet where’s the salt or the light of Earth
Evidence that we truly have rebirth?
We gather and make a pious scene
Every week at ten-fifteen
And listen to David, Moses and Paul
With stained glass on each and every wall
Or strum a guitar, beat the drum
Standing still, we barely hum
Time to find something clever
While spouting “nos” and certainly “never”
The younger humans are leaving each day
Looking to achieve a better way
And the old saints insist we keep it the same
Searching to find a devil to blame
Jesus wanted to have a people
Not a gravesite with a steeple
It begins by respecting one another
That includes sisters–not just brothers
And walk away from the power of fear
Delighting ourselves to be of good cheer
