Righteous Disgrace Lyrics

Lord, You and I know that
I gave 'em everything I had
Now I'm headin' for home
But again I'm feelin' angry and sad
I did my best to preach Your Word and sing
But they ripped off part of the offering
When you're dealin' with your brothers
You shouldn't have to feel so bad

Lord, I'm gonna keep tryin'
'cause Your Body's in desperate need
But I get so tired of the abuse
The deceit, and the greed
It's what I expect from the world outside
But not from the men
Who're preparing Your Bride
And they keep gettin' fatter
While the sheep are just left to bleed

It's a righteous disgrace, it's a sin and a shame
All of this garbage in Jesus' name
I know we have to wait for You To burn up the chaff
But what can we do for the sheep
When the wolves are on full-time staff?

Lord, I want to thank you
For every godly woman and man -
For every pastor with a shepherd's heart
And clean, lovin' hands
Give 'em the strength that they need today
Answer every single prayer they pray
But come like a fire, Lord, and burn the rest away

Lord, You and I know that
I gave 'em everything I had
Now I'm headin' for home
But again I'm feelin' angry and sad
Angry for lies that were told in Your Name
Sad for the lack of repentance and shame
When you're dealin' with your brothers
You shouldn't have to feel so bad
