The Disparity Gospel

By Mark Bishop

It seems so nice those words they're preaching

It goes down like honey those thoughts, their teaching

and think about the millions of lives they're reaching but for what?

I won't make suggestions on how to talk about the scripture

I'll just ask a couple questions and I hope you get the picture

The founder of our faith, Jesus Christ himself

was he born in poverty or did he have great wealth?

Is poverty the mark of one who didn't seek the Lord?
Then why does Jesus preach to the masses "blessed are the poor"?

How do we cope with a reality that's full pain and crying

when all they've taught us is a fallacy which hides the fact we're dying?

If we're all passing doesn't health fail? this can't be our forever

and if we're leaving then what use is earthly treasure?

Your best life now isn't this one if you know the God who saves

he didn't die to make you happy, he died to empty graves

So Almighty God could come and take the sinner's place

and glorify himself before a lost and broken race

You see we are a charity, our freedom was not free

oh the disparity to preach only that he

sacrificed a perfect life to build a better me
