"Gay In Church"
How can I be loved by you my creator when the preacher man says I'm not?
Who do I turn to for counsel since the preacher man despises me, but he's all I've got?
Moma can't help me because she don't understand my practices and it pains her to admit who I truly be!
Society chastises my kind and takes pity on my eternal soul; truth Is there ain't many who favors me.
What is it I've done wrong? Why am I hated so much, when not a hair on anyone I've harmed?
Life is so confusing, a daily obstacle, from what I hear I'll never rest my head in your welcoming arms!
Lord why did you do this to me? How is it I deserve this when I love you as much as the next?
In my dreams life is so pleasant, so why in my reality is it so complex?
I'm so afraid of what lies ahead since life as I know it is forbidden.
Please let's make a deal, can I join you and the rest of my family in heaven if like in this life on earth; I keep my personal thoughts hidden?
How come the bible says it will be different in the after life than it is here on earth?
Why was I short changed as the preacher man says; when you created me with my life being of less worth?
How is it fair that I'm allowed to pay my tides, give you praise and adore you like the rest?
How is it I was told you loved all your children equally yet heterosexuals say you love them best?
The preacher man always screams that my mere existence is the greatest sin.
The preacher man and congregation all must be Angels without flaws, so my opinion could never win.
Lord I never try to judge the church folk and I promise you that I don’t love them any less.
Lord I don’t understand why they chastise me while ignoring the countless sins they commit daily or never confess.
Lord I know that no human is perfect; and that he without sin must cast the first stone.
Lord I think the church folks forget that especially in the confides of closed doors at home.
Lord I often wonder if the church folk really think I should do like I often see.
Lord do you really think they wants me lying about who I really be?
Lord when I come to church sometimes I sit next to adulterors,divorcees,incesterors, alcoholics, drug users, drug dealers, murderers, petifiles, unwed parents and never an eye brow I raise.
Lord I even seen the married Preacher man preach a strong sermon to the congregation while staring at his mistress in the front row on many days.
Lord look like the church folks also forget all bout judging me when they need me to play the piano, direct the choir, sing the solos or the countless times I volunteer.
Lord sometimes amidst the double standards and hypocricy I almost lose sight of going to church to give you glory and sending prayers that I know you’ll hear.
Lord please forgive me I don't mean to question your actions I certainly give you all my respect!
I'm just curious and frustrated and my soul wants to know what my eternal life is to truly expect!
Never have you made me feel through your guidance that I am inferior or a product of your mistake!
Never have you failed me even in my gloomiest times; I've always felt empowered and assured that me you'll never forsake!
Man has had a way of using your word to manipulate several possessing a weak mind!
I trust you'll continue to direct and protect me and that your support I'll always find!
I know that yours and my relationship is much stronger than what people always say!
I know you're the world's atmost genius and that it was your intention to produce me gay.
I know you'd don't waste an ounce of your time on people like me; contrary to what hypocrits have tried to boldly convince the!
I'm sorry for second guessing you because of what Man says after all he's always been wrong about what you've “personally SHOWED me!

I think many churches have
I think many churches have lost sight of their vocation---which is to proclaim the good news of the Gospel, not to pronounce flawed human judgement. Real Christians understand that Christ's shed blood has answered to the penalty deserved by their actual sins (and we all have them); but sins imputed by the hypocritical only risk His anger, at the offensive hypocrites, as we see in the Gospels (and He is the same now as then, and forever). Just as in the Gospels' accounts, Pharisees were always lurking at the edge of His ministry to dry to subvert, so the same burden now harasses and invades the Church (which both He, and Saint Paul predicted). Many fundamentalist Christians (and I ain't one) love to quote John 3:16. which I also love and upon which my soul's assurance rests; but they forget about John 3:17 in which the Evangelist declares Christ's evangelical mission did not include judgement.
