Religion deludes and divides mankind
It misrepresents God and is not kind.
Promising power
Religion exerts control
Claiming to have truth
Religion deceives and acts uncouth
Projecting superiority
It alienates people in inferiority
Comparing and competing
With different doctrines
Separating from other sects
By segregation religion neglects
Humanity for whom Christ died
Ironically, religion is the great divide
Which widens the gap
Points the finger and does attack
Ridicule, scold, and demean
Sincere souls seeking spirituality
Religion is not what it seems
It is merely an illusion
Mankind’s search to satisfy
A deep inner quest and cry
To be reconnected to the Creator
To open faith’s glorious door
Historically however
Religion has been rotten to the core
Let us not embrace it any more
The sophisticated establishment
Is in reality an entrapment
Producing systematic enslavement
Obscuring the light of God
Making the narrow path broad
Discriminating and diminishing people
While it erects an edifice and steeple
Pursuing power at the expense of peace
From such ill will God give us release
Continual conflict, war without end
God in heaven wants to be our Friend.
Let’s expose the deficiencies of dead religion
Overthrow the dastardly defects of mere opinion
The concept of kingdom must be reintroduced
In wayward Western civilization
It’s not about imperialism, nor education
This is Christ within, a new creation
A changed heart, a divine work of art
This is not a political ideology
By which you appear smart
On the contrary, God in heaven
Graciously gives humanity a new start
Beyond blood, death, and diplomacy
Exists the kingdom of heaven in me
God alone can open your eyes to see
Righteousness, peace, and joy in me
The kingdom within brings victory
Birthed by the Holy Spirit of the Lord
Established and sustained by His Word
Conquering conflict, hatred, and fear
Blessing whosoever will humbly hear
Removing uncertainty, and corruption
Genocide, poverty, and starvation
The concept of Christ’s kingdom
Births a spiritual revolution
Empowering people with dominion
Removing religion’s pitiful opinion.
No more should we massacre millions
And claim we’re motivated by religion
God in heaven is a life-giver, not a killer!
God’s Son died for us
Therefore we don’t need to die for Him.
Just receive the King and get in the kingdom
Christ the King will make your heart sing
No need to bring an offering
Give Him your heart, submit to His Lordship
His mighty power will you equip
Your sin and bondage, He will strip
Embrace his purpose wholeheartedly
Transcend formality and religiosity
No more shall religion oppress humanity
For soon all shall taste and see
The spirit of grace that reconciles peaceably.
