Legalism? Tradition? Bondage? Pharisee?
I want FREEDOM
Self righteous, full of pride and mean
Ugly spirit manifests
Demanding full observance of the Law
For others…
Watching, following, always there
Ready now to judge
You broke the Sabbath Law
Guilty
Prestige and power you shameless cheat
Abusive falsehoods, led astray
Deceptive teaching just like yeast
Spoils the whole lump
Death
Man made ideas, as commands of God
Your worship is a farce
Lips that honour, hearts far away
Hypocrites
Blind guides will lead you to the ditch
Their words they will defile
Lifting traditions over truth
No life here….
Humble, private, choosing outcasts
Not requiring power
A different spirit manifests
Love
He challenged their hypocrisy
Challenged Jewish Law
He read their thoughts, discerned their hearts
Inside … dead man’s bones.
I’ve found FREEDOM
Jesus
