This song, unfortunately, exposes the frequency with which nominal (name only) religious individuals abuse the Name of Yahweh and Jesus, hiding behind religion while pretending to be followers of Jesus, giving the rest of us a bad name. This was the Devil's winning move; "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." Many people call themselves "Christians" but have never had a transformational encounter with the Lord Jesus.
And any man or woman who ever utters the words "God told me you were my spouse" to you . . . RUN!!! They are LIARS with personal ambition and hidden agendas. Yahweh God never said any such thing to them! Look for a spouse who embodies the character of Jesus while being obedient to His commandments and teachings, lifting you up and edifying you to become more like Jesus.
If you believe yourself to be, and profess yourself to be, a true believer in and follower of Jesus, then read these lyrics and do two things: (1) make sure this does not describe you in the least, and (2) avoid those "Christians" who are exactly as described here. You can try to show them their hypocrisy, trying to win them genuinely for Christ Jesus (but remember, conversion of the soul is the Lord's work; we only plant and water), but 9 times out of 10 they will turn on you and attack you because they are enemies of the Lord Jesus. They hide behind religion pretending to be something they are not.
Christians
YelloPain
Christians
Not saying I'm not one
I'm saying I've met some that made me not ever wanna be a Christian
Lord, forgive 'em
They hide behind religion
I wanna make an announcement
I'm a believer in Jesus
I believe that He died for my sins
I know that He's the Redeemer
My problem is people I should've got saved from, but I heard they was saved
But since the beginning, these Christians been using His Name for personal gain
So, I know that this sound like it's unrelated, but how do we build up Americas?
A group of European settlers came across the water, they was terrorists
They burned down the innocent villages, women and children, and made up a narrative
They said that God told 'em they was supposed to do it
Now let's make the comparison
Nowadays, nobody murder you under religion no more, it's scarier
They murder your vision in God and you start thinking maybe the Lord is a character
Cuz it seems like the evilest people I've met were the strongest promoters of Jesus
Cuz He died to forgive us for all of our sins, so they use that to cope with the demons
I know an atheist that molested his daughters, but he kept a perfect image
Did it for so many years, and then when he got caught all of a sudden he turned a Christian
It's never too late, but I just find it funny there wasn't one day that he served in prison
About 30 years doing the same s**t, then he found God in 30 minutes
I know this one pastor molested his daughter
The staff at the church kept saying, "Forgive him"
I know this girl that got raped and her momma wished happy birthdays to the person that did it
I know that Jesus forgave us, but some things I struggle to learn
How to work on forgiving?
I know a momma who cut off her son for religion, what kind of Jehovah she witnessed?
This one girl I changed my ways with convinced herself that I cheated
She said she had confirmation from the spirits, stopped picking up calls for no reason
She got romantic with one of my closest homies less than 30 days while I was grieving
He ain't know that I knew, he called me I confronted him and he gon' blame it on Jesus
He said, "God told me this is my wife"
But she told me He said I'm her husband
So which one was God, which one of y'all lied? To be honest I find it disgusting
And I know a pastor that took a donation and went bought his wife a new Lexus
You know you was supposed to take that and upgrade the facility; Why you finesse us?
The worst type of Christians the ones that believe they talking to God, but it's really ambition
Convincing themselves that it's genuine, trying to block out the hidden agendas
And they play on the hearts of the Christian, beginnings with hallelujahs and they memorize scriptures
Made me gullible cuz it was convincing
God, I need You to come fix me
I don't want to give up believing cuz I still remember
All of the times that You helped me and saved me when I ain't deserve it cuz I'm still a sinner
It's just that all of the Christians You've sent me that I got to witness, they all was pretenders
All of 'em wicked, and for the life of me I just don't see why I gotta forgive 'em
Need You to heal me, God, I know You real
That's why I'm on my knees, begging
Isaiah 29 verse 13 I just wish I would've read it
He say, 'They honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me"
Father please
Protect me from . . . Christians
Not saying I'm not one, I'm saying I've met some that made me not ever wanna be a...
I follow God, but I will never ever follow... Christians
Lord forgive 'em, they hide behind religion
