241022 Hypocrisy

 Hypocrisy 

Do you ever feel like a hypocrite

Tell them, " Stay calm," then throw a fit

Say you love people all the same

But certain ones, you always blame

Do you notice the hypocrisy 

In what you hide or let world see

Your words and actions aren't in sync

Concealing what you really think

Do you feel just like a hypocrite 

Not very much, but just a bit

When good advice you often spew

But none of it applies to you

When Christ exposed the hypocrisy 

Of the leaders of the Pharisees

Is the first thing that you thought to say

"Oh boy, I'm glad I'm not that way."

Hypocrisy goes a little far

If you boast of how humble you are

You pretend you wouldn't act that way

But, when you do it, then it's okay 

Yet, a hypocrite you just might be

If their speck but not your log you see

We might all have closets full of bones

Clean your own glass house 'fore throwing stones

Culture's quick to point it out to you

How act piously when in a pew

But when at home or go to work

You behave like any other jerk

Yes, the world thinks its hypocrisy 

If while sinning claim a Christian be

As if Christians must live perfectly 

Any less than that's hypocrisy 

But the world says all have fallen short

And in fact, we're all the sinful sort

Is church hypocritical to say

We should strive to live a better way

So let's all a little grace extend 

Harsh judgment try best to suspend

For to love and live in harmony

Frees us from claims of hypocrisy
