Array ( [sid] => 48162 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => A Real Faith [time] => 2004-05-18 21:57:56 [hometext] => I wish ppl who say they are religious would act on it, not saying I'm perfect, just saying it bothers me when they don't even try...tell me what you think please... [bodytext] => Sunday School when I was three
Brought me bended on one knee
Singing Jesus Loves Me So,
Never helped my spirit grow.
Smiley faces, stickers, glue,
Jesus doodles that I drew
Aren’t enough ten years from then
No one can just stay where it all began
People more concerned on how they look
Then what’s inside that old Blue Book
Just some words, some guy once said,
It’d mean so much more if they only had read
“Who cares? I’m saved, I’m good to go”
But where’s the faith you were sent to show?
Memorize a Bible verse
Days and days spent to rehearse
For the award of one simple candy piece
And then forgotten words of peace
He can be so much more
If you would only open the door
Take a leap from the fake world
See the glory of God unfurled….

A Real Faith

Topic: ChristianPoetry

Sunday School when I was three
Brought me bended on one knee
Singing Jesus Loves Me So,
Never helped my spirit grow.
Smiley faces, stickers, glue,
Jesus doodles that I drew
Aren’t enough ten years from then
No one can just stay where it all began
People more concerned on how they look
Then what’s inside that old Blue Book
Just some words, some guy once said,
It’d mean so much more if they only had read
“Who cares? I’m saved, I’m good to go”
But where’s the faith you were sent to show?
Memorize a Bible verse
Days and days spent to rehearse
For the award of one simple candy piece
And then forgotten words of peace
He can be so much more
If you would only open the door
Take a leap from the fake world
See the glory of God unfurled….

Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It's time for the real church in all of us to please stand up.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
