We Can Be.

This is a song I wrote a while ago.
It's about how we are supposedly created in god's image, but that image has been twisted by the church and how that image is now one of a vindictive god who we need to be saved from, rather than by.

I see myself in you
and it scares the hell out of me.
Everything I thought was good about you
is everything you've failed to be.

From what they've told me,
you seem like a sadist freak.
And I'd agree with them when they say that
you made us just like you...
because we can be monsters too...

It's all conditional...
The grace we pay for, and ignore the price already payed.
It's hardly worth the time it takes to tear myself away.

My God, look what we've done:
we've bled dry your son.
My God, look what we've lost...

The last part speaks about how we have drained Jesus of his power, and given it to a cross. We wear salvation from our throats. We stitch grace into leather bible covers. Hell, we emboss indescribable love and suffering into plastic-based communion wafers... Because we forget about the human being who died on it.
I chose We Can Be as the name of my blog because we can be so many things other than what we should be. I can be so different than I wish I was. We can be monsters when we should be compassionate. I can be so stubborn when I should admit I am wrong.
