The Light Poem by Douglas McClarty

If Jesus where her today would he be a Christian
Would he want to sit among the self righteous saved flock
Who look down at others with their arrogant thoughts and mock
Condemning them to Hell because they do not see it their way.
Or because they are confused by their frozen views

Would he condemn those who seek the truth
Just because they would look for proof
These people who seek to use and control
With rules that punish seekers of wisdom

For to long the innocent have lived in fear
Just to ask questions just to see things more clear
Would Jesus have expected you to blindly accept
What you have been told is the ultimate truth
how dare you seek or ask for a little more proof.

I think not, if he lived among us today.
He would want the lost to find their way
Through the jungle of lies and preachers of hate
He would be standing at the open truth gate
To help you find your own life's true fate.

So throw of the shackles of mans self control
Become your own seeker on the journey for truth
Forgive your own sins and learn from your past
You know what is good and what is not right
Your own life's journey will lead to, the truth and light.
