Vanity
Shareprofession minus practice creates blackness
dark voids that humanity cannot traverse living out a curse
every action thought and expression rehearsed
speaking every word the ear ever heard
but the lips and the heart are millions of miles apart
and it leads people down that dark and twisted road that doesn't glow
leads people into a place where they think they have hope
but in the end all they hold onto is the loose end of a cut rope
doped
on their own self-righteousness they choke
puffed up in pride but if you took a look inside
you would find little or no light
the worship dry
contrived only a lie
that amounts to no more than soot on God's shoe
He has nothing to do with you
you who do not seek His face but you seek something to take His place
because the honor He is due somehow escapes you
and you seek something or someone else to give it to
self righteous professions without the practice of those who know true election
leads you to the apparitions of blessings
with none of the conviction and I pray that you listen
because you soul cries out of its sickness
but because you and it have been severed from God's heart
everything that should draw you closer pushes you apart
the worship service seems cold because you are cold
cold to the coals that God burns on hearts that are altars that burn away the old flesh
but you look blessed
when the reality is you are trash unholy and unfit yet you seem to think different
just because you share a Word you don't believe you seem to believe that God is fooled
beware of this one thing you can only fool you
so practice the profession before you are held out of heaven
