THEIR HEARTS AR FAR AWAY
There are many who flatter me with their lips
But their hearts are far away
They think that they give me worship and praise
But I don’t hear what they say
They are full of self and pride
And their songs are all about them
I don’t see humble surrender
In fact I don’t know them
They don’t come to me on bended knee
They just stand tall and proud
They are singing their songs to the masses
Just trying to please the crowd
I KNOW those who are hungry
Who only want more of me
Who just want my close companionship
That is how it is meant to be
Those who just want to be servants
Those who just want to love
There are many who flatter me with their lips
But there hearts are far away
They think they give me worship and praise
But I don’t hear what they say
