Least of these



Yes many are: liars, thieves, fornicators, druggies and alcoholics and they deserve to be where they're at.
But God, if we all got what we deserved
we would be facing your wrath.

I'm a king on a throne with a castle I call home
They sleep underneath a bridge with cardboard
as padded foam. 

Onward Christian soldier as you ignore
the man begging for a dollar.
Druggie or drunk you tell yourself
so you refuse to help,
rather sit in your church and count your wealth.
Feed the least of these and when you do you feed me,
said Christ.
So how come this is such an oversight?

The homeless person needs Christ
just as much as though's who dress nice.
I'd help... you say; "if I knew he wasn't going to use it
for alcohol or drugs!"
But who died and made you judge?

Maybe you just think it's your christian duty
to use your wealth for yourself, instead of using 
it to buy food for someone asking for help?
After all God wants you rich,
He just must not love that man sleeping in the ditch.

Prosperity has got you blind,
since when was the gospel about getting whats mine?

You give your money to those who can give back to you.
Tithe a percentage that really doesn't effect you,
all so God will bless you.
Rather give your money to wolves in sheep's clothing,
then to a man who has absolutely nothing.

A man struggles with an addiction, drinks himself to sleep because he doesn't think anyone loves him.
There you sit, in your car with a christian fish,
can't stand to look in his direction, all the while
claiming to know all about grace and salvation,
the only solution to penetrate this mans addiction.

But as long as you know Christ…
that's all that matters right?
That drunk doesn't even deserve to eat,
just let him die without seeing mercy
that sounds very Christ-like oh absolutely.

You're forgetting that without God's merciful perpetual plan,
The Son taking the wrath you deserved,
you would be just like this drunk homeless man
only inward.
