Seduction of the church

Seduction of the church

People of the church give cheer
For Christ's redeeming grace is near
Lift your hands and say the words
Your soul will soar among the birds

No matter how bad the deed
Christ's blood will cover all your needs
If you ever sin again
No fear -- just read Romans Seven

Just make sure to ignore Six
No need to think Paul contradicts.
By the way, don't read First John
He didn't mean "your sin is gone"

He knows you are far too weak;
There's no such thing as "gone" in Greek.
God just says we can be free
He really can't change you and me

I mean, it's absurd to think
Our God can cleanse us in a wink
Sinful beings cannot be fixed
The blood of Jesus does the trick

What do you mean "holy stuff"?
How dare you say God's not enough!
Our sinfulness proves our cause
Christians, holy?! We break no law

well, I mean -- we're sinners too,
but Christ says we're as good as new!
God can't expect holiness
we're ill-equipped for sin's mischief

The whole point of Calvary
was to forgive eternally.
Hmph, you think Christians obey
and carry through with all they say?

How naive! Are you judging me?
Just read God's Word and you will see:
Surely God would let us know
If sinlessness were possible.
