She said "I'm ok with Jesus
but His bride can be a bitch.
I'd have half a mind to divorce her
I don't know how He puts up with it
I hear she's been sleeping around
bowing down to silver and gold
I hear she's been working the crowd
I hear she's been casting stones."
Sometimes I am ashamed
of what she claims to be in His name.
I said "one day there will be a divide
sheep and goat, wheat and chaff
judgement starts with the house of God
perfect love, righteous wrath
the name doesn't make you a son
let the fruit you bare be evidence."
Sometimes I am ashamed
of what she claims to be in His name
Sometimes I am ashamed
of what she claims to be in His name
Sometimes I am afraid
of what I'll claim to be in your name
