A world that is dominated by iPhones, the internet, fashion, and relationships is a world that leads to emptiness. Maybe, starting today, this can change by redirecting our thoughts towards healthier lifestyles.
We are materialist beings
Molded, shaped, destroyed
Employed by secular ideals
Feeling nothing that is real
Why do our iPhones
Take up more time than our Bible
We’re unreliable and its undeniable
Our priorities aren’t straight
Why do humanly relationships
Attempt to fill a hole
Never keeping our soul satisfied
But Jesus has no role
Maybe one day we will see
To flee our pain and suffering
We will ditch our surface covering
And get deep
We care more about a stain
On the whites of our Jordans
Than we ever could about the pain
We inflict on others
Do you see what I’m saying?
How sad is this life of ours?
Maybe I’m sour, a dead flower
Hoping to finally get some sun
Unplug from the internet
Social media, Google, Soundcloud
Stop listening to the newest mixtape
Escape from the prison you are in
Appreciate,
Eliminate the empty space
Fill it with faith
Get your life straight
But what hypocrite am I
To lie and say I am different
The truth is I feel like I would die
Without an iPhone by my side
The stains on my shoes bother me
The internet makes me feel free
Does everyone see
The emptiness within me?
My headphones are in my pocket
But my Bible in my drawer
I want to soar, ignore the truth
Yet the truth shakes me to my core
I see more SnapChats than Pastors
Facebook likes are a must
This trust, this lust for attention
The Bible never mentioned
I guess we’re all afraid
To lay down our lives for Him
We would rather sin, then begin
To make a difference
Today is the day of change
Can you accept my call to you?
Our lives need to be rearranged
We know what we need to do
