The Finite Church


In the beginning was the word

And the Word was with God

And that Word was God himself

In Him was life, and a light to men


Now that the Word has left the Church

What will be left of the sons of men

If on Him whom the Church was built

No longer have a place in the Holy terbanacle

What then shall be the fate of the saints


We have allowed self to take over

And in turn, we became prey to Hirelings

Busy doing transactions with the gifts of grace

That came to us free of any charges 


In His absence, chaos reigned

In His absence, trouble doubled

Pain and heartache became our reality


We have derailed from His Vision 

We've been busy building cathedrals

When we are meant to raise lives


We are busy dealing with external and finite things

We've raised structures that won't see the end of days

When we should be raising soldiers fit for His Kingdom 

We've been busy doing things we ought not to

Hereby, neglecting our primary assignment

Our sole purpose of creation and calling 


Oh! What a great waste it would be

When the refining fire from God comes

What a great show of sorrow shall it be

When at Bema you get to know, there had been no record


Ponder on these things Church

You who He bled and died for
