I don't want to be a Christian cliché
toting my Bible in my arms
with a ready posture to beat into submission
anyone who behaves contrary to
my interpretation of believer
while nursing bitterness brewed by
dreams deferred
because my religion ruined my relationship
with God my Creator
and I've been living like
I can earn points into heaven
I haven't made the grace connection
That Christ already paid it all
If only I would let Him brace my falls
And when you ask me what church I go to
you might as well have asked me what set I rep
because my loyalty to the four walls
supersedes my loyalty to the God I say I serve
lip service
is all I know
which is why my faith is all confused
I have a better time quoting today's horoscope
than I do describing the character of the God who loves me
and gave me a book of cheat codes to this life
so that I don't actually have to live a life of strife
in constant enmity with cross I represent
because I haven't realized the the truth of it
I don't want to go to church my whole life
and miss the whole point
Peace with God
Peace in God
and the oversimplification that has already saved my life
if I could only walk in it
That love is King
And everything God has already done
and called me to
points to that very thing
