DISPOSABLE BELIEVERS

Disposable believers—we toss them all aside
If they will not measure up, with us they can’t abide
They try their hardest to arrive
But years of habits still collide
To keep them from the other side
And so we leave them out to die

Disposable believers—for them we have no time
Why bother with the one—we still have the ninety nine
Some of them appear unkempt
Some are socially inept
Some are deeply stuck in debt
Would losing one cause us regret?

Disposable believers—inconvenient; in our way
If we invest ourselves in them then surely we will pay
Taking up our precious time
All they do is gripe and whine
Our resources they will bind
And we don’t get time to unwind

Disposable believers—it’s time for show and tell
See the famous people that "we" rescued from hell
But when the act becomes a snare
And they choose not to perform there
With dollar signs no longer shared
And so for them we just don’t care

Disposable believers—The harvest in the fields
Our Itty-bitty garden could never grow such yields
The broken and outsider
The foreigner and stranger
The sick and the endangered
Looking for the Life Changer

Disposable believers, when seen through Jesus eyes
Don’t look much different than what’s behind our disguise
How dare we judge who can be saved
How dare we stand and block the way
Just who are we anyway
Sinners saved by God’s grace
