Evangelica

As always and again and again officials of the church, no matter which denomination, abuse their position of power. The news of child abuse, of crude justifications and double standards reach us again and again. What does this mean for the Church of Christ? Who would want to trust the message of love, if the ambassadors of Christ abuse their own message?

I gave you my trust
My time and my love
Thought you built on a rock
And are meek as a dove

Holding the banner
Of Jesus the King
“Ambassadors of mercy”,
I heard you sing

But You, Evangelica
Turned back souls in need,
Built walls with bricks
of your selfish deed.

“Faith, hope and love”
I listened your preach
“The greatest is love!”
That’s what you teach.

Words like cold graves
Songs chime like sneer
Ripped bridges behind you
Your salvation seemed clear

But You, Evangelica
Turned back souls in need,
Built walls with bricks
Of your selfish deed.

Called urging to Jesus:
“Don’t you see what they do?
What about your mercy,
Your name and your true?”

With eyes full of love
Softly spoke the King:
“Do not throw the stone!”
So gave it to Him.

Oh, Evangelica –
What have you done?
Why did you nail Jesus
To the cross again?

But You, Evangelica
Turned back souls in need,
Built walls with bricks
Of your selfish deed.

Oh, Evangelica –
What have you done?
Knowing exactly –
Why He had come…
