Hello how you doing I'm sure my name is unimportant I'm just wondering the ways that all your views have been distorted 'Cause I'm of the firm belief that all the culture that you building In these four walls is determined by theology you wielding I searched you on the web and all I managed to see Was a copy and pasted statement that it looked like you retrieved From another place that I've seen and hope to never see again So just disarm me of my trust issues and tell me on a whim If you at least stick to the word on what's primary and what's true 'Cause I'm trying to obey the scripture where the author says I lose If I start to make life decisions to separate from the saints So I'm trying to stay inside this building just long enough to think of reasons I shouldn't walk out before benediction is done Because I've been battling Satan in my flesh about this gun Gun of fear and skepticism that is holstered in my heart And it stays ready to shoot when I think nonsense bout to start Promise I'm trying to be real humble as I look into the text But I can never just ignore the signs and walk into some mess So I'm asking is there just one leader or is there many men Because my 50 cent is scripture gives us ways to comprehend The plural and the congregation function as the operand And spirit be the operator and he has a perfect plan I don't care if you Pentecostal Baptist or AME I searched the scriptures and there's just some places we need to agree Manifesto Can I help you catch the purpose of my deep incessant need To walk inside this church with clarity so my mind can be freed My appetite was spoiled by communities presented deep But ain't interrogate the depths of their ecclesiology And all the harm that it can breed when church order is just ignored Mishandling all the scriptures for reasons that just distort Was Paul talking to churches or just one person when he'd exhort Everyone to remember Christ and they'd do well if they'd report If everything just went awry and some congregants started tripping 'Cause they believed that the church was a vital part of the mission It wasn't their own to shape or subject to their own traditions Because everything at stake was too precious to harm the witness so Is this church reflective Is communion in the sentence of the answer If I ask you what's the way you do remembrance Are the pastors in the plural all equal when no one lifted Do they confess when they sinning when they meet Are they relentless in their prayers and in their living Is the scripture still the litmus Do the saints practice repentance and willing to go the distance With each other till it's vivid that the person ain't no Christian I don't care if you got music that can make a mood be shifted If your leader masquerade unchecked just cause they know they gifted And the saints encourage everything except some holy Christians And I know I've talked a lot but I'm just wondering did you listen Then the lady interrupted me and said Hey we're committed to the faithful teaching of the scriptures And we try our best but if you walking in as the rubric Then we won't pass the test I understand you've been abused in ways that make you feel uncertain But we striving towards the mark meaning we won't always be perfect I need you to know you'll meet a bunch of people like yourself And though you're right about the Bible Put your pride up on the shelf because someone will sin against you If you make the hard decision to come into this community You just have to bear with them So don't think we're like a prison Just think we're another pasture With a few leaders that understand that Jesus is the pastor ultimately So just ponder all the ways your posture's wrong As you go to the coffee bar and sing the lyrics of this song 'Cause I don't care if you Baptist Pentecostal or AME I welcome you back to the saints Because we've been made to agree That Jesus Christ the only creed And scripture from his mouth was breathed So you don't need to be elite But you just need to take your seat 'Cause I love you and want to share my life with you Since we've received the open door To walk into a life where Jesus on a tree Made us into a family And we gone help you run this race So let us be a help to you So you can see his grace is the manifesto
