The Baptist Way Has Failed
I go to Church
Everybody's dressed to impress
I'm dressed to reflect
Everybody judges negatively
I close my eyes in prayer to heal
You close your mind in hate to deal
I'm not for or against you
What do you feel? (Repeat)
Death follows you everywhere cause you refuse to speak life
There's no Holy Spirit in your heart
There's no love in your minds
All your faith is a secular based lie
You don't believe in blessing
You believe in getting blessed
All your Doctorine is open for interpretation
Theology is a Eulogy to you
And resurrection is a myth in your eyes
Baptized in fire
Tongues bathed in flames
Life set ablaze
And you want nothing to do with it
The unashamed are ashamed of their own skin
Surviving snake bites doesn't prove your invincibility
No one's immune to poison
Not even Satan himself
Everyone has a vulnerability exposed
Your is just more out in the open than most
You can write your own Bible like the catholics and the Satanists
There's only one Word that's true
You can't rewrite what's already been spoken
Only God can change this liquid heart
And you're still like
What's the real version?
The Baptist way is killing us
There's no fruit in it
That's why everyone's following suit in their skepticism
That's not Jesus (Repeat)
