Many hide behind denominational affiliation
Preferring tradition over divine manifestation
Justifying their ignorance and confirmation
Disregarding relationship and salvation
Pontificating their religious mannerism
Adhering rigidly to their methodology
Not earnest in regard to doctrine and theology
Forgetting it's not all about ideology and philosophy
God resists the proud and those in self-sufficiency
Sadly many misrepresent God denominationally
Preferring their minuscule models and methods
More than the magnificent Master of mankind
If they could just look beyond religion they'd find
A Savior and Spirit filled world full of wonder
Miracles, gifts, divine manifestations, and thunder
Instead unfortunately with divisive doctrines we blunder
As our ignorance ensnares and deeply takes us under
A fearful self reliance without God makes one shudder
As we doll out our dogma and dead religious fodder
Enslaving and polluting God's sons and daughters
Drawing near to worship and hear from heaven
We subtly entangle them with our vile leaven
Loading them with lifeless religious legalism
Our rigid and frigid forms and cold catechism
No time for spontaneous worship or expression
On the contrary religion demands deep regression
Daily ritual, a monastic seclusion, and ugly isolation
Pious penance, unbiblical purgatory, and degradation
Fear, religious observance, and self-righteous alienation
Such are the essentials of dead denominationalism
The means by which the passionate soul is imprisoned
Pulled from pursuit of the Creator and divine duty
Reduced to cruel bondage, despair, and depravity
This is the prescription by which religion kills curiosity
The love of God, zeal of the Lord, and quest for knowledge
These denominationalism must quickly rob and steal
Lest dominion boldly arise in loud great appeal
Reaching and raising the masses above the phony Mass
Which ultimately and in actuality is merely a mess
Of liturgical formality without any life or spirituality
Therefore let us arise understandably
Exercising divine dominion wholeheartedly
By which we can aggressively set the captives free
Denominationalism never helps anyone fully become or be
God intended dominion, His ideal plan for humanity.
