Day 240 of writing 354 songs - “feed my sheep”

GOSH when will we learn??? Why are we so bad at this??? Lyrics!! “There will always be the poor among you” But that’s a pretty flimsy excuse And I don’t believe for a second That that was His words’ intended use A strong fist to assert dominance As you ignore every warning sign The point is wholly entirely missed By the sheep and the goats and the wheat that He sifts Open your eyes to the context Of the words you cherry picked It’s not a righteousness contest But a clear directive Feed my sheep Something behind the faces in the pews Desperate hearts crying out for peace Hearing all the hoops to jump through For God to reach out His hand for refuge It’s an unholy barrier to entry To get it all together in advance Yet we blame all the lack of interest On a culture that won’t give us a chance #acousticguitar #singersongwriter #songwritingchallenge #acoustic #songwriting #healing #musiccomposition #upcomingmusician #christianmusic #generosity #feedmysheep
