Some go to church a song to sing <br />Some sleep within the fold <br />But God will do a brand new thing <br />The bible’s not foretold <br /> <br />Then arms will rise mouths open wide <br />Refusal will be heard <br />“We’ll only do what’s long been tried <br />Or written in the word” <br /> <br />God’s Spirit shares His point of view <br />The word can kill man dead <br />But Jesus comes with life anew <br />To whom the truth has led <br /> <br />For God reveals His plan to us <br />To man He’ll share His word <br />Yet many churches make a fuss <br />And say the truth’s absurd <br /> <br />Inside, they’re stagnant, weighted down <br />Burdened, with laws of man <br />Traditions have come to wear a crown <br />That turns from Jesus’ plan <br /> <br />To these! Christ’s only in the book <br />He’s not alive today <br />Why don’t they come and take a look <br />What God has now to say? <br /> <br />For those who sit at Jesus’ feet <br />Who of The Truth would learn <br />The Lord makes these His choicest wheat <br />But chaff He’ll surely burn <br /> <br />The time has come to walk God’s way <br />With open eyes to see <br />Something new may come today! <br />Setting His children free.<br /><br />Michael P.
