WWJD: 29 September 2001
I'm the intelligent one sitting on the edge
I watch you all,
dumb sheep united forever,
singing the same songs and chanting the same mantras
WWJD and Let's Just Trust In God And Live Happily Ever After
cause I'm coming back to the heart of worship, and it's all about ME, Jesus
I hold myself back.
I'm not going to get sucked in,
I'm smarter than that.
I'm about more than the hype
and I see nothing more than hype in your
low-lit services with atmospheric music
and pretty people on stage,
topping it all off with a call to prosperous living
and a well-fed flesh.
I'm not about to buy the hype.
The funny thing is that I go home to be greeted by a dark messy room
Too tired and starved to pray
Glancing wearily towards a God that I know I don't love on the outside
So I crawl into bed, the one place where I'm
unconscious
unconvicted
unaffected
not about to get all emotional
and I fall asleep.
So, please, I'm asking you
Give me a place to release this bitterness
Cause I'm tired of holding it
it's really heavy
and I'm sick of lying about it
to save face
or make the conversation simpler
I'm not about to win the race.
