In Our Own Way Evil – v4

God’s indictment
on the people
on each one of us
all of us guilty
in our own way evil
in darkness, in sin
bowing down to our own idols
our piece of the world

separating us from God
needing Christ’s sacrifice
to make us clean, whole again
needing to confess, to repent,
to turn from our sin
to turn to God, to Christ
to follow where He leads us
the Shepherd of our lives

In Our Own Way Evil – v3

God’s indictment
on the people
on each one of us
all of us guilty
in our own way evil
in darkness, in sin
bowing down to our own idols
our piece of the world

separating us from God
from true relationship
since the Garden, since Adam
disobeyed Your command
needing Christ’s sacrifice
to make us clean
needing to confess, repent,
to turn from our sin

Personally Responsible

God’s judgment
on the whole people
on each one individually
personally responsible
following false prophets
corrupt leaders
bowing to man-made idols
the things of this earth
not to the one true God
Not the fall in the garden
the sins of each heart
these were the indictment
the judgment of God

At the shrine of his own idol


The indictment, then as now
that we are all following
our own path
each heart turned inward
at the shrine of his own idol
separated from the Lord

We, like the people
the ones he first loved
needing to let go of the world
to seek ever the Lord
and come back to his embrace
the pouring out of his love

Striving to follow
to pick up our cross
to answer when he calls
to submit as did the Christ
to go where he would lead

In Darkness

Believing falsely
in the darkness of our sin
straying from the truth of his word
walking away from him

Living in the darkness
cleaving to the world
false idols, false gods
that cannot speak your words

Return to the scripture
to his holy word
seek ever the presence
of our own true Lord

Listen and Speak


Hear my words, oh people
coming from the Lord
share his message of love
that we would turn to him

Breathing in, eating your word
humbly, oh God
that the world may know you
and submit to your will

Speak to the nations
to the people of faith
bringing all back to God
away from the things of this earth

Speaking My Words to Them

Gods calls us
from deep within us
to speak his words
to a rebellious people
all of the children
those who claim his name
yet who continue to walk in darkness
not in the way of Christ
