TEARS

Today, this morning, I wept.  Not for the dreaded Covid-19 among us

But I wept for the iniquities of the Church among us.

Why, Church, have you abandoned your God

Why have you laid a snare for yourselves

You have forgotten your first love and

Have placed yourselves as Kings and lords

And deliverers of unrighteousness.

Your leader has become unto you your God and 

Creator

Your lifestyle of injustice, prejudice, hatred, and greed

Has displaced the God of the Psalms who is justice, love,

patience, kindness, forgiveness, charity, and hope.

You have wearied the Nation with your wilfulness to do evil

And have insulted God as doers of unrighteousness.

You ridicule the poor, the infirm, and the weak. 

You bash sound doctrine, holiness, and mercy.

You trash wisdom and sobriety in the Church and 

Replace it with yourselves as little gods

No sound reason is found in your ministries for 

They are manmade and not godly

They tinkle with phoniness and delusion—

They no longer know how to tremble before the Lord.
