Safe Place

When I was growing up church was a safe place Didn't really understand the depths but I'd say grace Put my hands in the air sing the songs same way Made me feel good about myself in a strange way I never really doubted God ever Tough times came but I knew they'd get better See i used to blame him for the violence and the wars But I realised we do that stuff ourselves it's a flaw Still I had my cake and ate it too Guess I was a wayward yute I'd go against the bible and when I needed something praise him too When I was struggling I'd look for help in heavenly places Then forget God in devilish phases Got baptized when i came out of the water Felt like a new man I recognized the trauma that I'd been through from the day I was born to the days I was bought up the story's working together I just gotta trust the author and I learnt to, tried to be a man of virtue Committed to the church cos I knew they'd never hurt you So imagine my surprise when my Pastor went to jail for abusing some of the guys I was devastated, cos to the church I was dedicated It was meant to bring some light into this world of hatred But was shady and it needed to go back to basics, some friends they couldn't face it and left faith, cos they left cos they lost patience I started struggling I couldn't put my mind to rest reading up on stories bout some of the congregation being homeless and depressed while the Pastor's buying private jets Paid for by the very people tryna fight their way through debt How's that gonna earn respect Friends are sending tweets and texts These ain't the words that Jesus said This ain't reason Jesus bled I'm tryna find some peace in bed It's kinda like ephesians says I pray for Wisdom and knowledge for all the other leaders left Lately I've been looking at my own life All my weaknesses and my struggles they seem to hold tight I call myself a Christian, go figure, I guess looking at the church is kinda like looking in the mirror Cos it ain't just the building it's the people Were the ones that make the same mistakes again It's ain't the steeple I'm just wondering if I play my part in the evil I know we all got different sins we're fighting demons till the sequel I'm a hypocrite, made some mistakes I gotta live with it, Praying for forgiveness everyday there's something different it's playing on mind, cos there were times I use find all the faults of someone else while I was struggling with them myself, I wanna change my ways Cos looking at this world I think there's space for faith, helps me on the wayward days, but it's time I raise the stakes you know, practice what I preach, be a man of my word, try harder to become a better person In the meantime, even though I know it's know not perfect I'm thankful to church cos I feel like I'm always learning, you can hate it if you want to I realized the other day that there's hypocrited in the clubs too And people still go back to party, so I go back church cos I believe in what God has started He brought me outta darkness, gave me a home to put my heart in, i'm sticking by it regardless, i'm committed when times are hardest Cos my church prayed for me when I lost my Dad in an instant The church gave me sight when II didn't have any vision The church gave me songs when my mind was stuck in a prison I would sing them so loud and feel freedom enter my system I've seen my church feed the homeless and give them service I've seen them take the kids off the streets and give them purpose I've seen them give a home to the nations so they can worship I've seen my church forgive all my sins when I'm underserving Theres many pro's and there's many flaws The good the bad the ugly and I'm ready for it And everybody disses it till they got a funeral a wedding or a christening they need a venue for But Like I said there's cons but there's pros too The good the bad the ugly that's the whole truth But Church isn't a place that I just go to Its a family I belong to
