HOW BADLY DO YOU WANT CHRIST?

You’re probably one of the most astute
Followers of Christ known to man
But it’s not getting you much at all.
You’ve done more, surrendered more
Kept on the straight and narrow.

After many, many hours of receiving
And communing you’re finally ready
To take a break, put on TV and kick back.
Amazing how quickly you’re sucked into
Dramas of sex, booze & snide remarks!

Since when was it okay for you to side
With the criminal who gets the girl?
How is it suddenly congenial to see all
Those people as beyond hope or care?
Where did you disappear to in a flash?

You’re taking in a lot of poison
But hey that’s okay it’s only temporary
You’ll be back on track shortly
Pick up where you left off, adamantly
Denying aforementioned intruders….

Hah!! Ever wondered how it was
They fit so snugly into the huge gaping
Wide open arena you once called
Your intimate conscious awareness of
All things connected, perfect and free?
