Lord,
There is no healing
In dogmas, rules and creeds –
For only a relationship with you
Can meet my needs.
Lord,
There’s no forgiveness
In formal prayers of shame –
For only a relationship with you
Will clear my blame.
Lord,
There’s no salvation,
In attending church each week –
For only a relationship with you
Gives what I seek.
Lord,
There is no kingdom
To be found beyond my soul –
For only a relationship with you
Can make me whole.
