Religion

What if I told you Jesus came to abolish religion 

What if I told you voting Republican really wasn't His mission? 

What if I told you republican doesn't automatically mean Christian 

And just because you call some people blind doesn't automatically give you vision 

I mean if religion is so great, why has it started so many wars 

Why does it build huge churches, but fails to feed the poor 

Tells single moms God doesn't love them if they've ever had a divorce 

But in the Old Testament, God actually calls religious people whores 

Religion might preach grace, but another thing they practice 

Tend to ridicule God's people, they did it to John The Baptist 

They can't fix their problems, and so they just mask it 

Not realizing religion's like spraying perfume on a casket 

See the problem with religion, is it never gets to the core 

It's just behavior modification, like a long list of chores 

Like lets dress up the outside make look nice and neat 

But it's funny that's what they use to do to mummies while the corpse rots underneath 

Now I ain't judging, I'm just saying quit putting on a fake look 

Cause there's a problem if people only know you're a Christian by your Facebook 

I mean in every other aspect of life, you know that logic's unworthy 

It's like saying you play for the Lakers just because you bought a jersey 

You see this was me too, but no one seemed to be on to me 

Acting like a church kid, while addicted to pornography 

See on Sunday I'd go to church, but Saturday getting faded 

Acting if I was simply created just to have sex and get wasted 

See I spent my whole life building this facade of neatness 

But now that I know Jesus, I boast in my weakness 

Because if grace is water, then the church should be an ocean 

It's not a museum for good people, it's a hospital for the broken 

Which means I don't have to hide my failure, I don't have to hide my sin 

Because it doesn't depend on me it depends on him 

See because when I was God's enemy and certainly not a fan 

He looked down and said I want, that, man 

Which is why Jesus hated religion, and for it he called them fools 

Don't you see so much better than just following some rules 

Now let me clarify, I love the church, I love the bible, and yes I believe in sin 

But if Jesus came to your church would they actually let him in 

See remember he was called a glutton, and a drunkard by religious men 

But the son of God never supports self righteousness not now, not then 

Now back to the point, one thing is vital to mention 

How Jesus and religion are on opposite spectrum 

See one's the work of God, but one's a man made invention 

See one is the cure, but the other's the infection 

See because religion says do, Jesus says done 

Religion says slave, Jesus says son 

Religion puts you in bondage, while Jesus sets you free 

Religion makes you blind, but Jesus makes you see 

And that's why religion and Jesus are two different clans 

Religion is man searching for God, Christianity is God searching for man 

Which is why salvation is freely mine, and forgiveness is my own 

Not based on my merits but Jesus's obedience alone 

Because he took the crown of thorns, and the blood dripped down his face 

He took what we all deserved, I guess that's why you call it grace 

And while being murdered he yelled 

"Father forgive them they know not what they do." 

Because when he was dangling on that cross, he was thinking of you 

And he absorbed all of your sin, and buried it in the tomb 

Which is why I'm kneeling at the cross, saying come on there's room 

So for religion, no I hate it, in fact I literally resent it 

Because when Jesus said it is finished, I believe he meant it.
