Religious or Righteous? - Spoken Word

You call yourself the righteous

But you're forever in a state of crisis

You put bandaids on bullet wounds

And you assume

You're the healer

The healing balm dealer

When in truth you're a reality stealer

And the deceptive wheeler

Of false security deals

Yet, you possess tremendous appeal

To the masses

In all the social classes

You force fear based decisions

And claim God's vision

To be your own

As you stone

The wounded souls

Filling the bowls

Of wrath

Through your "righteous" attack

That's just wack!

But you get away with it

I must admit

You had me for a minute

Cause you know just how to spin it

But you'll never win it

As long as Truth endures

And continually cures

The disillusioned

Through Spirit infusion

Father, forgive them!

And give them

Another chance

To take a glance

In the mirror of your Love

And SEE from eyes above

What they've failed to see

In their wretched carnality.

Forgive them! They know not what they do!

They know not YOU!

For You are LOVE!

And even they are sent from above

And not beneath

But their perception is weak

And they know not how to seek

True justice!

For we MUST THIS

Seek

To reach the mountain peak

Where You dwell

And from which we all fell

Will I in anger exclude them

Or will I in Love include them?

Christ in me the hope of glory

Challenges the story

Of revenge

Cause hostility must end!

I declare peace to you

I declare release to you!

You can be set free

And you can be

Filled with tranquility

I release the sound of reason

And I declare a new season

A season of reconciliation

Throughout every nation

Now is the time

Peace on Earth we shall find.

Be made righteous

And delivered from your state of crisis

In Jesus' name

Behold, YOUR new name

May you never perceive the same

In Jesus' name!
