GOD PERSON
Hey, God person What you create today? and where the hell were you yesterday Telling me I would be more successful and happier being your way But I'm not complaining What are you going to do about the starving? Will you bother to show them how? They don't have the donations I have to offer On the last day When God asks you, How are you going to say? What mountains have you moved? What storm have you tamed? Have you helped others or have you just helped yourself? Receiving fame from the fools who follow you They're just as blind as you I'm not understanding why. People aren't watching clouds pass by Birds flying high Trees don't grow When they bow down to people like you. Veins of the path lie beneath the skin, If people would just look within. The grass we walk on Without caring to see Can show us about you and me. Look eye to eye, and see every side of a round world. Each truth has a different color, All colors feel differently, Each feeling has a path Going the same direction Reaching up. We can reach out Learning what it's all about. Darkness is seeing your own hunger, And not caring about another. With hearts shut off and turned inward, We can't look at the pain of another Without understanding. We just hurt each other, But you are taken care of Aren't you? With your heart drunken with all their attention Your pockets filled with all their money You're a happy successful man At peace, giving yourself to God You're rewarded for sharing with us the plan Bullshit you have only given yourself to vanity man Looking up to you to fill their hunger They're too blind to see the scam I'm not one to criticize God knows I'm no perfect man But I do claim to understand You want to follow Jesus Give all you own to the poor and wear the shoes of the homeless Jesus had nothing and showed us everything He truly belonged to the Father Didn't have to bother asking for anything Without the help of broadcasting equipment His words reached around the world Under many tons of pressure He sweat tears of blood He did But you don't He cared You won't To claim you follow him Isn't fair You want to help Stop taking our money Stop putting us down Jesus didn't And you shouldn't Without knowing the name of the son of man Buddha followed his words more than you Won't you be surprised when Jesus says to you I never knew you Blessed is the one who tries to follow the way of Jesus But isn't always able to Cursed is the one who tells us to But doesn't Forgiving us of our sins Who's going to forgive you? Jesus had no credit account Retirement fund or limousine to take him about Without all that You say he saved the world or did he just save you? Preaching his words You've obtained all that When are you going to give it back? There's only so much to go around Why should you have all that? Who's going to save the poor from you? We don't need more people like you. Do you really know the truth? Do you care Do you really want to help Doing the work of the gospel? Stop your preaching Pay your taxes like Jesus told you to Get down here and help out Have you ever wondered why Jesus was a friend to your sinners? Why he was an enemy to you? Instead of fessing-up You had to try to shut him up After you had him nailed up He asked the Father to forgive you Even one of your sinners At his side Jesus was not ashamed He even took him With him Judge yourself honestly You must think you're better then me Jesus didn't see it that way Why should you? What is the truth? To see each other eye-to-eye What is the plan? To understand What is the way? To give each other a helping hand Does it hurt you for me to put you down? Don't do it to me Eye to eye is the way Together We can all make it be By sharing We are taking all the hurt, pain and hunger away It could be a good day Seeing the grass we walk on Seeing every side of a round world You will even see God around Feeling each color of every truth God will speak right to us We will find everybody doing the same thing differently for the same reason As God guides us As God guides every other living thing that surrounds us Being back in the Garden of Eden The Kingdom of Heaven Jesus taught was within will now be on earth as it is in heaven By reaching in We can reach out By sharing what is within us about We will take it out By: Roger Harkness |
