Social Gospel

One listened 'pon the speakers
of pomp and great renown
of those both well respected
and lesser known did sound

What words were these they speaking
quite long pontificate
but social gospel wranglings
of loving without hate

Ignore the state of righteousness
and rather get along
husbands, wives and parents too
and children was their song

Include did they the races
the creeds what 'er beliefs
for all things be accepted
and none without relief

Let me be me and you be you
was their marks' herald cry
ignoring death hereafter
and torments standing by

No speech of hell nor gnashing teeth
among them there be found
no rescue from the afterlife
or sin's death sentence bound

Let's get along” be their pet phrase
and legislation make
for all who live within this life
is all there be at stake

Let's talk of finance stewards too
though none themselves be bad
their only end is for this earth
where none should e'er be sad

No call “Repent thou fairing one
from all life's sin and strife
lest thou be found the hopeless one
without eternal life”



How lost be these who “get along”
how am'able their paths
without regard that e'r'one lost
shall stand before God's wrath

For only sin forgiven
will last eternally
avoiding torments' 'ever flames
and gnashing of the teeth

For social gospel never saves
nor moves the Savior's reign
for only Jesus' sacrifice
can save sin's pending pain

Be warned thou famous pastors
teachers, reverends, priests
to you who'll stand before our God
and give account of speech

What did you teach them about sin
and judgment yet to come
What were your words administered
to save them from sin's sum

From hell did you yet save them
from torment's evil fate
or give them their fair warning
before tis much too late?

Replace ye not the gospel's words
of judgment, sin and death
of Jesus and His sacrifice
for sin's atoning breath

Lest hand in hand they walk along
to hell's distressful fate
and social gospel took them there
and found it twas too late
