Anti-religious

I look above and see light
I look around me and see deception
I look below me and see earth
Rotting and fallen
The lies of a ‘perfect life’ elude me
I try my best, but everybody sues me
White lies and gossip prevail
While honesty is derailed

Fed up with this nonsense
Am I making sense?
I love the God of the Bible
But I don’t get along with His disciples
Am I missing the goal?
Or can I not pay the toll?
Jesus, show me the truth in this

I raise my hands for His glory
And feel His presence in my life
But the man in the pew in front of me
Cut me off on the way here, and slept with my wife
My concentration is blown
And I wish his true colors would be shown
Is it wrong to seek justice?
Cause I’m sick of this

Fed up with this nonsense
Am I making sense?
I love the Jesus of the Bible
But I don’t get along with his ‘disciples’
Am I missing the goal?
Or can I not pay the toll?
Jesus, show me the truth in this

To be honest, I can not point the finger
Because there are times that I’ve lingered
Refused to do good, reveled in doing wrong
The list of my faults are in fact too long
Does it make me a tax collector or Pharisee?
If insiders can’t see the light in me
Yet outsiders only see love in me

Fed up with this nonsense
Am I making sense?
I follow the Jesus of the Bible
But I don’t get along with His disciples
Am I missing the goal?
Or can I not pay the toll?
Jesus, show me the truth in this
