They go to church they say their prayers <br />In life, they’ve not too many cares <br />They do good deeds they help the poor <br />So endless life, they think they’re sure <br /> <br />“Not all who call me Lord, speak true <br />Take heed what now I speak to you <br />Who lend their ears to all I say <br />Are only mine, when they obey <br /> <br />Some; have knowledge, and think they’re smart <br />Their heads are full, but not their heart <br />They think of self, not of others <br />Who can call these, Christian brothers? <br /> <br />Best trust in God, in all you do <br />Embrace the Wind, who’ll come to you <br />His Flame alone can keep you free <br />When He’s in you, and you’re in me <br /> <br />A personal God, I am to all <br />Who hear my voice, and heed my call <br />Who walk in me in one accord <br />It’s these; who truly call me Lord <br /> <br />Yet still some come on Sabbath morn <br />Who only think; they’ve been reborn <br />Who going forth may cheat and lie <br />Yet don’t repent, will surely die <br /> <br />There’s no one free, to live in sin <br />Even who have my Flame within <br />So don’t be fooled, to live a lie <br />For then my Dove, from you could fly <br /> <br />Repent; and leave your wayward life <br />Have faith in me, to end your strife <br />To all who come, my peace I’ll give <br />And as your “Lord, ” you’ll surely live”…<br /><br />Michael P.
