Titus 1:16: They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works.
What an easy life
When we lie or
When we cheat or
When we steal or
When we are lazy
Then, we look at the righteous like they are the ones who are crazy when they take the long way
After we shortchanged our way through life
We forget we still have to pay the price
A longer wait
We forget that fate has a funny way of catching up
We forget how God gets weary when He’s had enough
A longer wait
We complain about dreams deferred and
We complain about being unheard
But we’re too good to put in the work
That’s too bad
What are we waiting for?
We’ve wasted precious time
Avoiding the long way
Being slick and sly, cutting the lines
Just putting our lives further and
Further and
Further behind
God wants the best
But we think we can do better
What a grave mistake
What a slap in the face
What a long, long, long wait
So if we keep skipping the lines and
Living the lies and
If we keep on not putting in the time
We’ll never ever live how God intended
Putting all bets on corrupt, worldly ways and wishes
Too smart to stop shortchanging our life and our time
But too fickle to get off the waiting line
