Hidden Agenda

::I REALLY I hope this touches someone!::

People used to get hated by the world and bring the church their hurt
Now they go back to the world because they got hurt in the church
But what we don't seem to realize is that the church is just a building
And it’s the spirit of God who dwells inside that provides the healing...
Now a day’s people leave the church because of "he say, she say"
Then say it was the spirit moving them into a new way
Okay, please believe that I hear what you say,
But church isn’t Burger King, you can't always have it your way
We concentrate more on the messenger than the message
And if he didn't hoop and we didn't holler, we didn't get our blessing
If we only realized that we are the church within the building
There would be fewer witnesses every Sunday to spiritual killing
Modern-day Pharisees, we're so quick to judge the sick
And if they don't fit our mold of "saint," we rush them out quick
Though saved by grace, we've all fallen short of His glory
God knows us better than ourselves, its HIStory
We compete against each other; best shout, longest tongue
And promote ourselves for getting saved so young
We conform to the world, but when has the world conformed to us?
When have you known for a secular artist to open up for Jesus?
And because this is so accepted, no wonder we're lukewarm
Using the world to win the world is only causing harm
I think I found the weapon formed and it’s growing by the minute
The bible says to be not of this world though we live in it
And this generation of youth conform their lifestyle to fit in a culture
That doesn't realize its path will led to eternal torture
And I guess everybody is going to Heaven; no one talks about Hell
Yet the fact is with each second it continues to swell
I should no longer dwell on the subject, its too scary
Doesn't have to be that way if we repent and say, "Lord, prepare me."
Time is winding up and there are only two destinations
And where we spend eternity all depends on our salvation
Don't let anyone tell you, you have to get better before you can be better
Jesus can meet you where you are and put you together
Whether in the world or in the church, we'll face hurt that's life
But there's nothing like the experience of being covered in the blood of Jesus Christ!

Broken whole,
