You claim to know God......

You claim to know God, to be a follower of his
Yet you embrace the one who you'll betray with a kiss
You shout out your praises: your alleluias too
But close your eyes to those most needful of you ..

How can you be Christian and how can you pray
While treating so many in such a destructive way?
How can you claim victory and salvation in Christ
When you're denying the ones for whom He sacrificed?

You claim to know God, to be a follower of his
Yet you embrace the one who you'll betray with a kiss
You shout out your praises: your alleluias too
But close your eyes to those most needful of you ..

Every Sunday you're present, you're there in the pew
Looking around and hoping someone notices  you
But once it's all over and you've left out the door
You forget all the messages and make fun of the poor.

You claim to know God, to be a follower of his
Yet you embrace the one who you'll betray with a kiss
You shout out your praises: your alleluias too
But close your eyes to those most needful of you ..

Did you not know that this Great Spiritual Being
You worship in church is in each person you're seeing
And when you start the denying, the marginalizing of one
It's to the Great and the  Almighty that this is   being done..?

You claim to know God, to be a follower of his
Yet you embrace the one who you'll betray with a kiss
You shout out your praises: your alleluias too
But close your eyes to those most needful of you ..
