You go to church
You expect to be fed
The word of God
Penetrating through
To your heart and head
Times are tough
You know you need more
You think the church is there for
The people in need
And the scriptures agree
So you go for the help
You and your family needs
The church should be able to give
Food, clothing, or just some bread
You get there hopes high
But they give you some reply
About building a new steeple
You are sent away helpless
Relying only on forgiveness
For you have just seen
The dark side of humanity
Material before people
Greed leads to poverty
