Is Jesus’ bride completely true?
Consider well the past
Is God in all we say and do?
Is Jesus first and last?
We argue doctrine round the clock
The devil takes delight
No wonder when the sheep we shock
Still wander out of sight
Religion always plays its part
Tradition; in flowing gowns
But should the bride not make a start
And give her Groom their crowns
One church says this, another that
Religion bars The Way
One half can’t speak without a hat
Others have nought to say
No one of self should raise their head
But He who chose to die
The Living Christ who’s blood was shed
That love should multiply
But things in church take pride of place
Countless have come and gone
Though some were pious blessed with grace
They can’t replace God’s Son
The water the bread the sup of wine
The offerings sacrificed
At times of course such things are fine
Yet keep our eyes on Christ
There’s but on Way through Heaven’s doors
Truly one Way to life
All other ways with endless flaws
Are routes of constant strife.....
