Lost at Church
I never thought you could be alone in Church,
Yet, I have found you can.
When everyone sings like the choir
and not so much like the man.
The hearts are not together so much
People are not liking a hug or a touch.
I see the church getting bigger
donations being made,
but family's falling apart for their
lives cannot be saved.
Why not make the church small but large in God's eye,
And give the money back to the people
who need help,
And ease some of the suffering and cries.
I am sure God is in the church,
just a little bit misplaced,
Forget about the business,
And bring back our God's grace!
