When Did it Become About Me, Instead of We?

When did it become about the me,

Instead of the we?

When did Christians become hypocrites?

And people who love glitz?

Why do we have people in church?

Who are sitting there like they are on a perch?

Why do people just go through the motions?

Instead of spreading the gospel across oceans?

When did it become less action

And more of I want satisfaction?

We weren’t promised a perfect life,

So when things don’t go right why do we feel so much strife?

Why can’t we remember the reason we are here?

Or do we forget because of fear?

We choose to disobey,

And cause disarray.

But when life gets hard,

We choose to cry out to God cuz we drew the wrong card.

God isn’t a genie,

But when we treat him like one and don’t get what we want we call him a meany.

God has never changed,

It is us who have made the world and our lives estranged.

He is the truth,

There’s no need to go lookin for proof.

God chose to love,

Instead of lookin at us like we were something to be disposed of.

We deserve death,

But instead God gave each of us breath.

So what are we gonna do with the life he gave?

Will we live for ourselves till we go to the grave?

I’m tired of just sitting back,

While other people live in a shack.

We were meant to be God’s hands and feet,

It don’t matter if you are a garbage man or an athlete.

Cuz he lets us be a part of his story,

Ain’t it great to reflect his glory?

So isn’t it about time the me,
Became we?
