Thoughtless Christians

My love for Christ is a quiet thing
not boastful nor is it loud
deep in my heart God there resides
my soul before him bowed

Thoughtless Christians surround me
they talk the talk so well
Then lie and cheat and threaten
tell me I'm going to hell

Gossip, complaints and hurtful words
bragging of what moneys bought
yet never reach out a helping hand
This wasn't what I was taught

Those that lie even to themselves
to make themselves feel better
Never thinking of the hurt they cause
before they send that letter

Hurt and pain far reaching
Not just to their intended goal
but others that still love them both
and more to their immortal soul

Lies told for thier personal gain
taking what belongs to others
Will catch up to them on judgement day
Pray for those sisters and brothers

I"ll never lay claim to perfection
I'm a humble sinner, still
I try to live with love, hope and truth
And trust in Gods good will

It's just these things I don't understand
They claim to be pious and devout
Then do horrible, hateful, hurtful things
as "I love you Lord!" they shout

They boldly stand there in your face
and quote you book and verse
Then twist the word to suit themselves
Lord, tell me which is worse

To try to live honestly, even when it hurts
you always know what's in my heart
or to lie and hurt others while praising your name?
Of that game I'll have no part.
