The lost gospel
Intellectualized
Analyzed
Dissected
Every verse
Every word
Data crunched
Published
The word of God
The Bible
Used for PhD thesis
For Masters and Doctors
Just as in the days of
Jesus Christ
The biblical scholars
Dressed in fine robes
While Jesus spoke directly
To uneducated
Poor
And socially despised
The gospel of Christ
Is hidden now in the midst
Of intellectual display
Among the most proud
All vying for spotlight
All hoping to shed a new light
To take credit for understanding
What others have not
Blaming God
For the lack of miracles
Findings excuses
For their lack of faith
As if none would have sunk
As Peter did walking on water
With Jesus right next to him
All so confident of their faith
All greater than Peter
Yet lacking faith
And not knowing
Their lack of faith
The polar opposite
Of humility
