Do We See our Duty? Do we understand our Name?

I just see the same things happening over and over. People on the outside are behaving more Christ-like than those in the inside of the church. I wrote this poem because I was getting sick of the hypocrisy and the lies- we have to put our pride to the side and start representing Jesus-not just by the common hand signs and the supposedly ‘Christian beats’ but representing Him through our lives. Do we honestly see our duty? Do we truly understand our name? Maybe if we did-things wouldn’t be the same.



I'm sick of the constant teaching and preaching


i think we've sat in our church pews too long


warming up the seats


when we should be reaching.


But I think the seats are getting cold,


our message growing old.


The prophecy has been foretold.


Marriages are breaking up


Families are tearing apart


but all this must have had some start.






Theres a neighbour who needs just a little love


the stranger just needs a place to stay


what do our words really proclaim


when the naked man will die tonight?


Do we see our duty?


Do we understand our name?


If people looked at us, would they think Christians now days are insane?






The people in the third-world are dying


but our own church members are crying.


We don't even notice the people closest to us hurting


Let alone how are we to reach out to the foreigners who are seeking?


We carry empty words as we drive


to and from church.


We beep the horn,


shout colourful words


then we complain why the world has gone wrong


When we should seek out our own actions.


the question is where did WE go wrong?






Theres a neighbour who needs just a little love


the stranger just needs a place to stay


what do our words really proclaim


when the naked man will die tonight?


Do we see our duty?


Do we understand our name?


If people looked at us, would they think Christians now days are insane?






The whole world would be Christian if we lived to its standards.


No one, let alone Christ accepts any high standards


He just wants us to live up our words


Reach the unreachable


touch the untouchable


We are to recognise 'Christ' in the word 'CHRIST'ians


Imagine having Christ written upon everything we do?


Will that be enough to get us out of our church pews?


The pastor's been preaching by himself for way to long


where are we to write our own song?


This song won't, alone, get us to do the work of a true Christian


but it might be a start for us to be making a world of a difference.






Theres a neighbour who needs just a little love


the stranger just needs a place to stay


what do our words really proclaim


when the naked man will die tonight?


Do we see our duty?


Do we understand our name?


If people looked at us, would they think Christians now days are insane?


IF GOD LOOKED AT US, WOULD HE THINK THAT HIS FOLLOWERS ARE INSANE?

“When it’s all Gone- you find…”

I wrote this when I just started getting over Rymone(ex)- even though I had gone so far away from religion, God and who I used to be in Christ, I realised that I still had faith and hope even when I thought that I didn’t. If you’re alive-it means you have been given and are responsible for making better choices that to what you have been to this point.- 16th June 2010





It’s just a drop in the ocean

Yet we act as though that one drop can’t change the weather

We can all come together

So we can deal with the pain and rejoice sooner

Each day is a gloom

And out into the darkness you glare

They say there is a light at the end of the tunnel

But you are overwhelmed all of a sudden.



You stare down the road toward the horizon

Your soul is pressed into depression more deeper

You see no hope

Little faith

Insecurity bottles your mind

But it’s the joy of the Lord that we must find



When you feel that the sleepless nights

And crazy tears that you lived thru

Would be enough

You expect that the next step would be without strife

You hope

But that’s the point

You’re still living

And continuously creating

For yourself another opportunity

To be hoping



By attempting to look in the tunnel you are admitting you have hope

By constantly looking at the horizon you are putting a stop

To doubt

To confusion

And depression prevention

You take another step when the staircase is not seen

Its like, for answers daily we will plead

But it takes faith and hope to take a step

Maybe this will cause your feelings of negativity suppress.

It’s all taking faith

It shows you still got hope

Otherwise you would have stopped



Have you considered not just the road but the trees

Cheerful birds and the entire scenery?

Have you considered that you have a hope

As you’re looking toward a or any goal?

Have you considered that it takes guts to just look up in a tunnel

Instead of complaining about your issues, forever?

Have you considered that taking a step into darkness

Shows that in our current situation we are helpless

But if we didn’t care about getting to our goal we wouldn’t care less.



It’s all taking faith

It shows you still got hope

Otherwise you would have already long-gone stopped.
