THE CHURCH

 

 

 

 

What is this building, this church on the corner,

 
 

I saw as a child, where I was a foreigner.

 
 

The people inside, dressed all in their best,

 
 

greeted me there, I was but a guest.

 
 

 

  My parents went there, yes, I had to go,  
  to go through the motions, I couldn’t say no.  
  Why was I forced, to go to a place,  
  praying to something, unseen to my face?  
 

 

  They’d go through the service, with reverence of life,  
  but when it was over, Pop’s tongue spoke with strife.  
  I marveled how a man, could act a "sweet" part,  
  then speak of mankind, with things that were tart.  
 

 

  Is man doubled minded, to heal or bring pain,  
  not seeing his tongue, brings thunder or rain.  
  All of these things, sent a confused sound,  
  to me that was groping, in darkness so profound?  
 

 

  The church was decided, because of belief,  
  believing each other, not knowing relief.  
  I sought to find TRUTH, to understand GRACE,  
  so my speech like rags, will come forth like lace.  
   

 

 
The healing "inside", did not come from "brick",
  it came from the BOOK, so I wouldn’t stay sick.  
  Let’s awaken to the BOOK, to be of one mind,  
  to a LOVE that brings life, just seek and you’ll find.  
   

 

 
  The feeding in church, was more for the soul,  
  ‘cause We feed our spirits, so they can be WHOLE.  
  All of these buildings, as grand as some seem,  
  can’t FREE up our lives, from this life, a DREAM.
