importance over penance under forgiveness over ignorance under importance

faith without reason is a miserable choice
and the breath of a deity is a need to rejoice


but why are you so sullen now?
there’s a God who forgives
our need to feel confident
is what vanity is

Christians,
Christians,
what blessing hath he left us though?
the dealings of our lives are aptly called an ebb and flow

archaic things that give us faith
just look at love it gives us grace

but, god, oh god, you love defending sacrilege
while culture becomes foreign becomes sinful makes you lack courage

god, you’re so defensive you’re so tender
where honor dies you cast yourself

but you are not a martyr
you’re no savior
just let Him be Himself

pride, immortal poison,
and we drink it
to refrain from doubt
or has He told us death is dead and therefor we should live without
