Without The Spirit
James 2:26
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Flesh without the Spirit
(a timezone between the OT and the NT)
For four hundred years without revelation
All this time understanding based on self
Slowly changing into self-glorification
Like a thief in the night, I know this well
A few days in the present without meditation
No personal relationship impressed in your life
Then to hide in self-made vague intimidation
That religion brings when you put godliness aside
A day, a week and a year make changes slowly
It paints only a finger then corrupts the hand
It is then used to rise above the lowly
Until all of them appear like a ragged band
When the Lord walks up to you only see a vagrant
Someone who is not good enough to fit in your life
You’re now much better than the wandering pagans
That you so classified in your fading insight
All who not reason alike you become as filth
They don’t know purity and can’t see how to manage
A worthless lot that my religion should kill
Until only the ones like me rule this planet
Pharisee and Sadducee, Islamite and me
Walking on a highway that leads to destruction
Thinking we’re right and singing we’re free
As we rush through existence without perfection
