Do you prove you’re a whore or more sell yourself short
When you say, “I’m a Christian! I’m Right! I am SAVED! “
Is there ‘FAITH’ in this statement? Don’t whores know they sin?
Don’t most alcohol addicts confess they’re not strong
In themselves? Who brags that days sober proves win?
Is forgiveness of self more a drug that you snort?
Is there any sin worse than unwarranted pride?
Are you confident sin can exist that’s not yours?
Friend, to know that you sin is your first baby schlep
Toward pure Grace and the magical, mystery tours
That humility shows us; it’s part of the prep
For an act in the big tent, not show on the side!
You’re a whore, and you know it? That’s step up for some!
But to see I still sin does not mean I resign
From all hope. We can shine yet! The Grace that we give
Shows connection to Christ, though in sin we still pine
For what’s certain. In “FAITH, ” in Christ’s death, let me live
And give bearhugs to ‘Johns’ who think I’m one that’s dumb!
