lyrics

Too many people
Worshiping Jesus
But not following
Any of his teachings

You always see yourself
As the Samaritan.
But you look past
All the hurt in this world.

You've sanitized our history
And rewrote it in your favor
To preserve a narrative
Where you're worthy
Of everything that you have taken

Created in the image of God
Now you've created your own out of porcelain.
Lacking humility you looked in the mirror and you started chiseling.

Now you worship something that looks a lot more like you.
Now you worship something that wants the same things you do.
Now you worship something that leads you to war
You're worshiping yourself

Reduce our savior
To superficial teachings on love
Strip him of his critique
Set back the tables he turned.

Hard to identify
With someone who identifies
Them self with those
you wish to exclude

And is there nothing to be done?
About the hurt and suffering in this world?

Follow messiah only to the extent
That you don’t have to dirty yourself
With the poor

You looked in the mirror
And you started chiseling
Created an abomination
And now you bow at its feet

Death to your white Jesus
Your idolized reflection
