Feeling Lyrical

::::::::

No fear of God in the hearts of man

The love of most growing cold

Prophesied long ago

Yet still it hurts the Father so

Jesus always was the truth

Jesus always was the way

Then they made Him a pop star with smoke and lights

Salvation has gone away

Traded in the altar for an altar call

Traded in sins for bad life choices

When Jesus is celebrity

He's lost in the sea of voices

No fear of God in the hearts of man

The love of most growing cold

Prophesied long ago

Yet still it hurts the Father so

Jesus always was the resurrection

Jesus always was the life

Then they made Him a hipster and gave Him a faux hawk

No longer to talk about strife

They brag about their crown of glory

The crown of thorns is never preached

Traded in the cross for an empty purpose

Now the lost are never reached

Not with the Gospel mind you

The only one that can truly save

Celebrity Jesus saves no one

From the cradle to the grave

No fear of God in the hearts of man

The love of most growing cold

Prophesied long ago

Yet still it hurts the Father so

Jesus always was our High Priest

Jesus always was our Prophet

Jesus always was our King

Then we put Him on TV in denim and leather

And it changes everything

Celebrity Jesus plays the part

He smiles and says let me into your heart

But he cannot save you

No matter how good his ratings are

No fear of God in the hearts of man

The love of most growing cold

Prophesied long ago

Yet still it hurts the Father so

They prophesy empty promises

Mystical fortunes is what they tell

Travel halfway around the world to win a convert

Yet make him twice the son of hell

Be careful who you follow

Don't trade in your Savior for a one man show

Cause when the smoke clears and the crowd thins out

All you will be left with is a man...

Lifting up the name of someone he does not know
