[bodytext] => I consider myself a holy saint For the Good Lord’s work I do not taint I will be quick to tell you the 72 reasons why I am a good follower of Christ And I will be sure to show you how my immense wisdom came at great price I am quick to reveal your sin which is a harmful disease However, I must ask for your attention to remain on me please Don't worry some day you will be as holy as I You can trust me because I never lie I can show you how to fool people and God alike For I know the 10 step way to become Christ-like You have a lot of sin to deal with While my sin is nothing but a myth Holiness and I have become synonymous The author of this assertion is seemingly anonymous For I would never want to put myself at the center of attention And I would never want to cause dissension But I must admit I do have things pretty well figured out And I get tired of the services where Mrs. Jones always has to shout I think the Holy Spirit just told me that Mr. Johnson is having an affair So this must mean that with congregation I must share Because I hear the Holy Spirit’s voice quite well Which is a deception I adequately sell For as long as I say Jesus a few times and quote the Bible Everyone assumes that what I say is viable I am lucky the sins of lesser men do not affect me Even if they did I would not be willing to see Because in reality I am covered in more sin than most But of my holiness I choose to boast I am no better than the Pharisees were But I have been taught well that this is the line to blur I must do my best to avoid a clear view of reality For if I see it I will see my great lack or morality I must hide my spiritual insufficiencies with the reciting of the Word In order that I convince myself that I am not absurd This delusion has captured me whole I am nothing more than a blinded soul I fail to see that my actions do not connect with what You teach For I, more than anyone, do not practice what You preach I am so far off the mark The light I see is actually dark [comments] => 1 [counter] => 75 [topic] => 62 [informant] => AndyRaw [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => spiritual )
