Crumbling Faith
Location
They tell me who my God is
But how can they know my God
When they do not know me?
They tell me why to follow, to obey, to submit
The scriptures and holy texts are law
Unbreakable, unforgiving
They tell me how to pray, to think, to believe
My sinful heart is not my own and must be guided upon the righteous path
Unquestionable, unthinking
They tell me what to say, to love, to hate
Only the chosen people can hope for salvation
Untouchable, unaccepting
They tell me who my God is
But how can they know my God
When they do not know me?
My God is my own
He is my will
My will to live, my will to act for myself
My God is my own
He is my mind
My mind to think for myself, my mind to speak for myself
My God is my own
He is my heart
My heart with which to love, my heart with which to accept
They tell me who my God is
But how can they know my God
When they do not know me?
