What Makes A Person Good

Going to church doesn't make you a good person It doesn't stop you from drinking, smoking, cheating and cursin' It doesn't change who you are Even if you are standing next to the altar. Many persons that leave the church stay exactly the same They haven't changed since they first came They still carry inside of them the very same bad soul But, only now they are wearing their church clothes. And when they get home many will turn back As if their soul is under a spiritual attack, They will judge and hate and will mock and ridicule others Even their own church's sisters and brothers. Going to a church doesn't automatically make you good As being a child of God we all truly should Many are racists and judgmental and are truly uncaring If you're poor or needy or an immigrant they aren't sharing. Remember church is full of lost sinners Many of us are lost and we just want to be winners Instead of going to a pub or bar or restaurant wearing a fancy blouse We decided instead to go to God's House. When they go to church many believe that they are better But, unto God they are still a debtor Going to church doesn't make a person good at all Making and wanting to be a good person is your soulful call.
