You hold your bible close to you
And sing in Jesus’ name
You are nothing but a hypocrite
And I know He knows the same

And when you are feeling exposed
You run to your church to pray…
Do you pray for the man you deceived?
Or do you beg Him to make your guilt go away?

You have taken this mans soul
And shoved your God in his face
You ripped out his heart
And left pain in its place

So when you lay your head to sleep
After your body’s been pleasured and used,
Pray for the heart that you slaughtered
Pray for the one you abused.

“Only acknowledge your Guilt-
   you have rebelled against the Lord your God,
you have scattered your favors to foreign Gods
under every spreading tree,
and have not obeyed me”  (Jeremiah 3:11)

You speak of everyday things, just a million times louder.

I won't go into personal opinions, but I will say I understand much of what you're saying here.
