Tremblers gather at my door,
With pamphlets, chapter and verse galore.
If simple truths I accept and learn...
There's a glint of hope that I may not burn.
Under the guise of recruiting for the Lord;
With hopes that I'll weild their denomination's sword;
They come, proclaiming me brother and friend...
They leave, condemning me for my sins.
Gone are the days when I wined and reveled;
They were MY wretched ways !  Don't slander the Devil.
Many a time, I've called on your kind...
When I was famished and begging a crumb;
Your Christian charity is quite a rarity;
I've yet to be granted some.
Jack of Knaves in the pulpit...
Preaching much, but practice little...
You pray and strive to gain the tithe,
Yet rarely give a tittle.
Teach me PEACE !    Speak of LOVE !
Talk of Heaven WITHIN, not God above !
Of the Kingdom of Heaven, is what I long to hear !
Don't come with your judgement... I don't share your fear.
Searching high and low for Satan's dens...
Upon his head you lay all sins.
Should he no longer play his part...
You'd have to look within your heart !
Such a search evokes great fear;
So, yoke the Devil and keep him near.
Kiss the Beast between his horns !
He makes you rise on Sunday morns !
I've grown suspicious of your plot.
You are a superstitious lot !
Shiny cars and ties of silk...
You ring my bell, to bring me milk.
Send me one...dressed down and crude...
With an offering of solid food.
Send me one who understands...
The Love and Light of the Father's plan !
Save me from the trembling ones...
That judge the world 'til judgement comes.
Spare my ears of what Angels have done.
Send me one who  IS  the Son !
Show me ONE... divided thrice...
Who understands...  We  ALL are Christ !
