Verses Not Humans
We know you're good but the church is in ruins
Cause we're too caught up In what is written
Loving verses not humans
We declare that we're your house
But we're not a home
Where we can let perfection go
God we pray to love like you
Then quickly refuse
To greet the stranger in our pews
You gave us all one rule
Love others and love you
We know you're good
But the church is in ruins
Cause we don't follow
What you commanded
We know your kindness
But we've abused it
Cause we're too caught up
In what is written
Loving verses not humans
God we say that all can come
And wholly belong
If their tithing every month
And we preach you care for all
But the argument's null
When we won't say that love is love
You gave us all one rule
Just love others and love you
We know you're good
But the church is in ruins
Cause we don't follow
What you commanded
We know your kindness
But we've abused it
Cause we're too caught up
In what is written
Loving verses not humans
How did the God of radical inclusion
Become the mascot for exclusion
For those who don't think look or act like us
How did we let the pages of our Bibles
Become our worships greatest idol
Praised more than the love of Jesus
Praised more than the love of Jesus
We know you're good
But the church is in ruins
Cause we don't follow
What you commanded
We know your kindness
But we've abused it
Cause we're too caught up
In what is written
Loving verses not humans
Cause we're too caught up In what is written
Loving verses not humans
We declare that we're your house
But we're not a home
Where we can let perfection go
God we pray to love like you
Then quickly refuse
To greet the stranger in our pews
You gave us all one rule
Love others and love you
We know you're good
But the church is in ruins
Cause we don't follow
What you commanded
We know your kindness
But we've abused it
Cause we're too caught up
In what is written
Loving verses not humans
God we say that all can come
And wholly belong
If their tithing every month
And we preach you care for all
But the argument's null
When we won't say that love is love
You gave us all one rule
Just love others and love you
We know you're good
But the church is in ruins
Cause we don't follow
What you commanded
We know your kindness
But we've abused it
Cause we're too caught up
In what is written
Loving verses not humans
How did the God of radical inclusion
Become the mascot for exclusion
For those who don't think look or act like us
How did we let the pages of our Bibles
Become our worships greatest idol
Praised more than the love of Jesus
Praised more than the love of Jesus
We know you're good
But the church is in ruins
Cause we don't follow
What you commanded
We know your kindness
But we've abused it
Cause we're too caught up
In what is written
Loving verses not humans
