Poetry
So satisfied, yet so reprehensible, we drink prosperity’s sweet cup ‘till we’re full. We suck down the liquid in one smooth motion, little knowing it’s a sleeping potion. Little knowing the cares of the Kingdom, taking for granted our hard purchased freedom. We ignore the reason that Christ died for, we turn it into a club about getting more. Preaching Christ is optional, despite the fact that WE’ve been made whole. It is sad, I confess. We are the church of the West.
Forgive us Lord, wipe the sleep from our eyes; teach us Your Truth; demolish our lies. Give us the brokenness we despise. May we repent without compromise! Lord send a revival, and start it with me. This is my song; this is my plea! Lord send a revival, and start it with me. This is my song; this is my plea!
Captivated by all but the eyes of the Master; we pursue our pride, sprinting towards disaster. Submission is optional, and God is a fool; instead of surrendering, we use Him as a tool. So worn out by getting our way; we close our eyes to sleep, but never to pray. Too blinded by our affluency, we carry the “cross” of complacency. We bed down with Idols and worship with our heads bowed to the floor. We are Christ’s bride, but we are a whore. We are the church that has been too blessed; we are the church of the West.
Forgive us Lord, wipe the sleep from our eyes; teach us Your Truth; demolish our lies. Give us the brokenness we despise. May we repent without compromise! May we repent without compromise! Lord send a revival, and start it with me. This is my song; this is my plea! Lord send a revival, and start it with me. This is my song; this is my plea!
I’m tired of talking about what is wrong, anyone can do that all day; Lord, I’m willing and ready to sing a broken song, so change my heart I pray. Send a revival and start it with me, this is my song this is my plea!
