Hollow Hypocrisy

They talk about his footprints in the sand.

What do they know about it? I demand.

They preach of his works but fail to understand.

 

The book was sent to us yet they only pretend to read.

Love of money has blinded them, they\'re consumed by greed.

Do they blaspheme or are they so thoroughly deceived?

 

As a whole, the human race is ignorant.

They destroy a world that He only lent,

Taking for granted the Son that was sent.

 

If they are deceived it\'s because they want to be.

They have closed their minds to how they ought to be.

Their conscience dead, makes it easy for them not to be.

 

Their hearts feel nothing of what they say,

And yet they go on parroting day after day.

Ignoring the path that He died to show the way.

 

Ungrateful for everything He chose to give.

Hypocrisy is the way they choose to live.

True faith will, for them, continue to be illusive.

 

\"He without fault cast the first stone.\"

I have many and I have always known.

I watch the ripples from ones they\'ve thrown.

 

Stone after stone like they have throughout time,

Covering over, explaining away, crime after crime.

Their followers performing their great pantomime.

 

The few real believers are treated just as He said.

\"They will persecute me and the ones I have led.\"

So many yielded so few and yet still He bled.

 

Body racked with pain and in mental anguish, He prayed.

Disrespected, unappreciated and outcast and yet He stayed.

The love that He has, on \"few\" hearts forever engraved.
