We took the message of Christ and made it Christianity
We took Christianity and made it a religion
We took religion and politicized it
We took politics and commercialized it
Yet, from the beginning, His message was simple:
‘The kingdom of God is here with you’
But, no, we prefer to try to get there our own way
Even if we have to pay for it in cash or torture
Some saw the message as a lucrative business
And tailored it to suit their pockets
Some had great philosophies that baffle the mind
They made doctrines, interpretations and rules of all sorts
Yet, from the beginning, His message was simple:
‘The kingdom of God is here with you’
But, no, we prefer to try to get there our own way
Even if we have to pay for it in cash or torture
It’s no lie we’ve wondered far from the truth
He said ‘I am the way, the truth and the life; I am the door
In plain words, He spoke, in simplicity He came
But who loves simple? No, we want it complicated
Not all that glitters is gold Maz. Of the few billion of us claiming to be christian, how many of them have their name in the Book of Life? Such a petty, we need more of us who can teach the true meaning of His word.
