Remember when you were #slaves in #America – v2

Remember your past, your sense of belonging
in the land of opportunity, of capitalism, of golden idols
 
Remember when you were slaves in America
serving Mammon when you claimed to be Christians.
 
Remember when you were in spiritual bondage
when you thought of yourself only, of greed, of material things.
 
Share with others, those who are hungry,
feed them, share with them, your fruits, your gifts.
 
Share the love that you experienced when you left your past
when you submitted to Jesus at last, freed of the brass rings.
 
Freed of the wealth you chased after, when you were slaves in America
bound by the myths, the lies you told yourselves.
 
Remember the time before you came to know your true home in Jesus
our Lord, our Master, the Shepherd of our lives.

Micah 6:6-8 (KJV)

6 Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before the high God?

Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?

7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands

of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit

of my body for the sin of my soul?

8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and

what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy,

and to walk humbly with thy God?
