Playing Church Is A Certain Death

Going through the motions of church
attending out of rote
God warns against such foolishness
when the heart is remote
____
hardened to the point of comfort
where life is just a breeze
commitment then is just a word
the heart is what God sees
____
complacent to be found in church
the outward look seems fair
because it’s vogue to go to church
a duty one must bear
____
not reading God’s book through the week
the covers remain closed
just like the ears found in the pews
one’s heart is not exposed
____
for the time is running so close
when Christ shall come again
the ones who will be left behind
face God’s wrath in the end
____
when now is the time of His grace
made available for free
to anyone who wants to change
and live accordingly
____
playing church is a certain death
when Christ is not the head
make sure that you shall be ready
to escape the certain dread
