i don't worship Jesus

I don't worship Jesus

I won't be distracted by the obsession with worship as a sign of Christianity

Churches that focus their energy on the invisible in the sky

All the while ignoring the instructions of Jesus on earth

Millions spent on stages, sound systems, and the spectacular

Dripping with the righteousness of being in the show

Glory and praise as a substitute for loving action

Save me from the anthems for Bloody Jesus, Rambo Jesus, and Boyfriend Jesus

The lights, camera, action, all hands raised

While people are pushed and shot down in the streets

Give me a church with peeling paint, a single coffee pot, and lagging internet

Take me to the church on the street with a dozen protesters and handmade signs

I wanna be in the church with the community choir singing "you are beautiful" and "born this way"

Praise to the church at the donut shop, where strangers gather to protect their neighbors

I'll take the church unbound by the American flag at its altar

Thank God for the churches without walls and the wow of worship

Find me the churches simply living the way and the truth
