A Reproof to the Believer

You live your life in sin
And think nothing of it
The Holy Spirit convicts
But still you reject

You said a prayer
At the age of five
So you must fine
No need to change


One foot in the world
One foot in religion
All mouth no motion
All that’s left is commotion

You’re growing fast
And the days steadily pass
Everything is the same
As it was before

You look like the world
You talk like the world
You act like the world
But claim you are not the world

Seen as their own
By the world you’ve known
And still you keep the claim
You are living with no shame

The lies of the world
The lies of the Wicked One
Believe them not
Or you will stay undone

The world looks at you
They understand not what they see
You are the reason for
Their hatred of Christianity

They see no difference
They believe it’s all the same
Because they see you
Someone who is untrue

A new creature comes along
And shows them how
Living in sin is wrong
And how Christ is needed

Their ears are closed
And they want us gone
They tell us to go away
“I’ll be in Heaven someday”

“I am good enough
I really do believe
This Christ Jesus you speak of
I do not want to receive”

“I like the way I live
And will not change
No, I will not turn
I would rather burn”

They tell of how they know you
Living a wicked life
There is no difference they say
They want to live their own way

Dear friend, please
Do not continue
Living the way you do
Live in a way that is true

For when you live this way
You lead others astray
Instead get on your knees
Repent and pray

God will not tolerate
Wickedness forever
The sin that He hates
He must judge

Now you have a choice
A decision to make
Hold on to your sin
Or get rid of all within

No peace will you find
Until you surrender all
It’s time to wake up
And heed to God’s call
