All Works No Faith

Tried to be a Hero
Ended up at Zero
Have I abandoned you?
All I need is to renew?
Was that your Son at Denny's the other day?
Nothing was needed to be said
So when's pay day?
Or was He a mirage?
How about a bed in a garage?
Why should I need to pray?
When he saw me do his work yesterday
I'd rather be Claus
If you subscribe to Buddha's laws
When it comes to you, Father
Why should I even bother?
There's no pudding in your proof
Everyone's still aloof
How do I stop this holy war?
I thought your policy was open door

Dear God, why the wraith?
All works, no faith

Went back to church
Restarted my search
Is it some sort of Trap?
Because I was slow to get into rap?
To whom it may concern
It looks like no return
OK I'll ask for help
Who's on Yelp?
I tried it their way
I hoped someone would show one day
I tried to follow Jesus
The Bible ain't no thesis
Doors kept closing
I kept losing
What's the deal
Am I Roman Meal?
Or is purgatory
A Puppet in a story?

Dear God, why the wraith?
All works, no faith

When will there be good news?
Or are dreams of success just to confuse?
I know about taking up a cross
But why am I the only one who still has Moss?
I've carried several crosses
You've given me nothing but bad bosses
Yes I've also made mistakes
But you must have put on the brakes
What's the point?
Should I become a songwriter, a prophet, or a politician with a joint?
I'll follow my bliss
There ain't no satan
There ain't no hiss
I know the devil's in the details
But in the meantime, why aren't you hiring in retail?
Sure
A hero's journey
Then why am I still ready for a gurney?
While I'm very appreciative of this grail
Is my object to fail?
