G.O.D

I feel like I wrote this forever ago!!! This was actually wrote probably around the first time I realized I had a passion for writing. The inspiration of this came from constant reminders of those who defined God as a race rather than a person. I heard Common's G.O.D (very good song listen to it when you get free time) and was inspired to create my own version. I thought it was appropriate to bring up considering our focus on evangelism at WJI.

Listen, understand denominations are created by man
The separations of religions were never formed by God's hand
Teenage years I start to question my feelings and religion
Like do the saints exist and what exactly is considered sinning?
But it's up to me to explore this vast denomination
And remember it's not always God's word what the preacher is saying
So why our feeling of superiority in these infinite degrees of separation
Why live with ourselves that Catholics and Baptists have no relation
One love so there's one God, one choice to believe
One time to show up on judgment day and our choice to leave
God doesn't send people to hell, we choose our fate
Adolf Hitler chose to murder, he wasn't born with hate
In the soul of an atheist burns a light just as bright as our own
Just because they can't see the light doesn't meant they can't eat at our home
No religion is right, it's only Jesus or not
And don't tell people to change because in hell their soul will rot
When you sin yourself you’re contradicting the reality of your human quality
A perfect person is non-existent so we must unite in equality
We speak the holy word and it's up to them to listen
Being a hypocrite will never make you a Christian
I don't force my religion but I feel God's voice is got to be heard
And faith cannot be told its something to be learned
So questioning God's existence will make your faith grow
You'll understand your own beliefs and reinforce things u already might know


Between the questions and answers I still look for God's face
Seeing Him as a way of life instead of a race....(2x)


Yeah, and so you call God black when you've never seen Him face to face
In the other words you’re separating your religion by color, in other words your religion’s disgraced
Jesus could be black or white but in God's family color is not restricted
So God as a color symbol should not be what He is depicted
Rather a religion is a way of life more then the cross on your neck
Got to be personal with your God in order to resurrect
Actions speak louder then words, practice your preaching
Notice I don't call people sinners because you’re listening to a sinner's teaching
I don't have all the answers but I realized God is living
Woke up from taking and started giving
Curiosity didn't kill the cat it killed the hate
Because when we discuss our religion we learn that God is great
And if God's face is our face then we all have potential
And remember are sins aren't permanent they're written in pencil
We aren't humans trying to be spiritual but spiritual trying to be man
And none of us are perfect I try to be what I can

I know God feels us because he died with the murderers and thieves
On his left and right breathing the same air He breathes
So why give up on God even when your life is at the lowest
Miracles happen everyday but we never bother to notice
People want to see God as the physical because they can't believe the biblical
So I'll depict God in my rhymes so they might believe in the lyrical
Don't confuse this with a Sunday morning homily that's not what this is
And remember love is powerful because that's what God gives
Love to the thieves and the man who killed innocent people
They all stay at the top, they all pray under the same church steeple
Remember God doesn't choose hell for us it all comes down to us
We choose our path on our journey and victory isn't always a must
Trial and error, filled with mistakes and low times
Talk to God every night and you'll end up with no crimes
God lets everyone into paradise from the rich to the meek
But I wonder if every time someone chooses hell a tear falls down His cheek?
Because he lost his sheep in a fiery grave
What ever happened to the happiness and gifts he gave?
What ever happened to the death on the cross so everyone could be saved?
