Hypocrites? (MDS#165)

Why do they claim to know You,
but refuse to follow Your ways?
They’ll do what’s convenient for them
if it doesn’t interfere with their days.

“Praise the Lord!”, are the words that come out of their mouths,
in church they seem faithful and true
but You see them at home and You watch them all day.
Do they think they are fooling you?

How can they say they are Christians
and live such a bad example?
I know that nobody’s perfect
but their spiritual fruits should be ample.

Lord, you know that I do not condemn.
I am really sincerely concerned
because the actions of those who are grown
affect the ones who have yet learned.

Not only the young in age
but the babies in spiritual matters.
Poor guidance can turn them away
and leave them broken and shattered.

So to all who claim to be Christians
better make sure that your house is straight.
Get your example in order
before you help mess up someone’s fate.
