SAME LOVE, as yesterday, today and forever... (in response to the song “Same Love”)

“your rights have been stolen”

What do you think your rights are? 
based on what?

You and I both came from the dust.

Gay or straight
Love all or HAte,
we all face the same age old fate...

One day our eyes will close--
you write LIVE ON! just be yourself...

Well woe unto you, you’re a blasphemer of truth.
You will die one day, and your message will too...

“and I can’t change, even if I tried, even if I wanted to”
well where is the hope in that...oh you mean strictly for homosexuals?
We are all born with wrong desires in our hearts. 
It was mommy who taught me good,
with a hope that bad behavior would depart. 
At three mom and pop don’t have to teach you to
say no, to take what isn’t yours,
it’s in you, in me, in all of us
our hearts are all deceitful,
and wicked to START

You sing 
“love is patient, love is kind”...isn’t that the truth? 
You realize you paraphrase the Bible right, the one you mentioned
penned by men,
written some 3500 years ago..isn’t that what you said
You do know who wrote that right?
Paul, once name Saul...look into that story
and see how God’s love won’t demand,
but PRODUCES a change in us all.

I am certain you will admit
you are anything but perfect,
it’s hard to find a life that is,
there was but One,
who came as a man, who suffered all things
it’s a familiar story, but put YOUR NAME 
in its purpose, A man name Jesus Christ
came to die for MACKLEMORE AND LEWIS (insert your name here,)

to show me He suffered, as you and I all do,
who hurt, feel afraid, confused, misguided in our ways,
He indeed felt it all, he let our sins crucify Him,
as real Justice for All.

Satan and all his demons could never do what had been done,
so they work day and night,
through the song you have sung,
to confound this profound truth,
that God did not really die for you,
nor was raised from the dead,

but He did and He is living,
with a love for all mankind
to believe he died for me, for you, 
for haters, for murderers,
for idolaters, for thieves, for blasphemers, for adulterers, liars and cheats

The true message of love
right here for the taking, no holy water needed,
no man to man confessing
Christ Jesus is looking upon our hearts
to redeem our wicked ways,
to accept his Love, gay or straight,
without justifying our own ways

we take one good look
at the state of all our hearts, and it takes
no great psychologist, nor therapist
to unwittingly admit
we are all wicked, frail, and unfit...
but in and through Christ we can become so much more
we truly can LIVE ON 
through that amazing grace so many artists have sung,
where my chains are gone, I’ve been set free,
sins curse has lost its grip on me,
the Same Love that was poured out
when Christ hung upon that tree, 
is the SAME age old LOVE song that longs
to set all men free.

Hope in that!
