Story behind the song
I read the quote in a book “The accusation is repeated around the world. Social degradation it is claimed, is a result of derelict, decadent Christianity.” It is sick that America and Christianity are thought to be the same thing. It should motivate us towards revival.
Lyrics
“The accusation is repeated around the world. Social degradation it is claimed, is a result of derelict, decadent Christianity.”
I’m in pain, thinkin’ bout this accusation its insane, what in God’s name, would cause a world around us to see, that evil is sprouting out of Christianity, well lets explore the accusation, its rooted in America being called a Christian nation, the opponent is Satan and though the whole world sins, Americas sins are so blatant, so the religion that degrades Christ keeps sayin’ that its cause is his followers causin’ the mayhem, its so false, but yet its so true, because its not Christ but look at what his followers do and even America’s atheists his name’s attached to, cuz the world thinks Christian America when their lookin’ at you, and we’re blind to it, because look at the Christian church and you’ll find wickedness we accept and also do it,
“The accusation is repeated around the world. Social degradation it is claimed, is a result of derelict, decadent Christianity.”
When an immigrant comes to the United Streets, he probably doesn’t have the money to live in the nicest of neighborhoods, so he is quickly introduced to what he thinks is the Christian Prostitute, the Christian drug dealer, the Christian pornographic bookstore. And that is the America and the Christianity that the world sees through our entertainment.
We’re so blind we’re so blind
Open your eyes, its said that America’s Christian, and still my brothers and sisters don’t listen, but the world sees this sin, and they say Jesus Christ why would we get him, its sick and so are we, maybe you’ll remember this next time you turn on the TV, how can you watch that, when you learned to follow Christ the plot in that sitcom were you taught that? But wickedness you bought that,
hold on a second…think about the last time you heard the Lord’s name used in vain…and when is the last time you objected huh In fact there is a good chance you are guilty of that sin also. You realize that all this reflects on Christ and what right then do we have to say post the ten commandments, when the church won’t follow them, oh yeah and did I mention this is what the whole world sees and the opponents of Christ say…yes…that is Christianity a blasphemous and wicked religion.
“The accusation is repeated around the world. Social degradation it is claimed, is a result of derelict, decadent Christianity.”
AHhhh…Lord father forgive, hopefully my brothers will listen to this, its time to live in a way that’s righteous so that we can show true life to a world that’s lifeless… America, that bright and shining beacon, clouded by the news showin’ yo habits on the weekend, those seekin’ hear the slander and believe it, which hinders our attempts to help them receive him, but we won’t repent, look at how believer’s dollars are spent, look at how our countries laws are bent, so as you sit there sayin’ Jesus my homeboy, maybe you should read what He says and practice it in yo home boy,
You may be of the opinion that you can’t fix the misconceptions of the world when they think America is Christian. But we are called to be holy. And we ain’t being holy. It starts with America’s Christians living above reproach. I don’t want to use an overused catchphrase but we need revival and we need to say let it start with. Me.
“The accusation is repeated around the world. Social degradation it is claimed, is a result of derelict, decadent Christianity.”
