Say And Do
So many in this world today have many words to say
They tell us how we ought to live even tell us how to pray
They tell us what's expected from the host of the redeemed
But if you could see in their hearts it's not Christ they esteem
They tell us we're expected to give to support their cause
Demanding of what we might have without conscience or pause
As though they were by God ordained to rule the souls of men
When of a truth their souls are lost because of hidden sin
That has a grip upon their life observed in all they do
Assuming there's another standard that's for me and you
While they live to enrich their coffers we live to obey
Not doing as we see them do but doing as they say
And though in truth they're evil as we see them in the light
Of God's great Holy Standard that describes for us what's right
So many choose to follow them as if their lies were true
And like a mindless autobot do what they're told to do
And why might you ask are these folks so blinded in the way
They let themselves be monitored in all they do and say
And then manipulated to perform as they are told
Well friend that answer is as long as this dark world is old
Because when they were tempted our first parents failed the test
To hold on to their righteousness and live in God at rest
And by receiving doubt of Him Who loved them most of all
They started like a domino humanity's great fall
Into the hands of Satan who has blinded men since then
Who's kept them bound by selfish lust to evil and their sin
And kept them from observing where God's righteousness is found
That they might be like wind blown waves and not as solid ground
And without God's foundation that is ours through the cross
Then what is our humanity is cast away and lost
And only by returning to His Word of Truth in prayer
Can we find solidarity while God is waiting there
For soon much sooner than we know His patience here will cease
And those who have not lived the truth will know no love or peace
But those who have endured the fight for Truth will not go wrong
But will with Moses and the Lamb sing their salvation's song
James 1:19-27; Revelation 15:1-3
