    Light the Candles

    Light the candles, smell them burning, While the gospel, men are churning, And the hearts of men not turning From their sins. And God not learning. Religious practice is their cover. Sinful lifestyles, they’re not over. Godless idols are their lover. Righteousness is not their mover...

    Religion vs Relationship

    Religion is based in the teachings of man, In forms and traditions in which they now stand. Their customs, their idols, are what they now serve, And from their procedures they barely will swerve. The writings of man are the bibles they read, While God’s word, the Scriptures, they rarely will...
