Whitewashed Walls

It seems there’s nought they fail to know

How openly they pray                                        Mt.6:5

The Pharisee of long ago

Are still with us today

The finest robes to church they wear                 Mt.23:5

Like those who’ve gone before

But then God’s flock they’ll rip and tear          Mt.23:24

Pursuing every flaw

In church they cry as on the street                    Mt.6:5

As wheat; they seem to stand                           Mt.13:26

They love to take the highest seat                    Mt.23:6

While not in Jesus’ hand

True righteousness, must theirs excel             Mt.5:20

No wrinkle, spot or stain                                 Eph.5:27

All hypocrites are bound for hell

Not one in Christ will reign

Their whitewashed walls by God are seen    Mt.23:27

He knows what lies beneath

To man, they seem righteous and clean

But few; can see the wreath

Yes Pharisee are with us still                          Mt.13:26

Their fruits are seen by all                              Mt.7:20

Although their yeast can maim can kill         Mt.16:6

Can bring a child to fall

Our brother Paul, was once as these              Act.23:6

He too thought he was wise                           Php.3:4-6

Till Jesus brought him to his knees               Act.9:4

To open up his eyes                                       Act.9:18+Php.3:7

God said “My grace must you suffice           2Cor.12:9

I’ve work for you to do                                  Act.13:2

Your life you too; must sacrifice                   Act.9:16

As I have done for you”.....
