Fake Body

The cross used to mean something

It was a symbol of providing aid

The early church came together across social, cultural, and ethnic borders

To see that all were equally created and cared for

It’s why we started so many organizations, but I think it’s telling when we never carry through with them

 

Our message is to make sure no soul goes unsaved

Yet, it has become a dominating chokehold in society today

We’ve made it all the worse, trying to use it as an excuse

Too busy telling the world what we hate, and they quickly forget why He came

Desperately, we’re trying to wash away the individualized sins

When we can’t even dare to see the systemic sins

We preach about the community, but always separate

Can’t comprehend Christian outside of the church, isn’t that great?

 

Yet, when we separate the faith from white Christian nationalism or culture

Suddenly, there’s clarity that the early church didn’t leave what it started. No fear

It was a symbol of aid in the civil rights movement

It is a symbol to this day across the globe when there’s no hate

A banner to gather under because of the separation that’s left the church and into the world

So, what will it be? Christ or the church.
