Man has distorted the Word of God
It’s become the word of man!
Jesus spoke so simplified
That a child could understand.
He taught through timeless parables…
Illustrating what He meant.
He showed us all the heart of God…
He was truly Heaven sent.
His Words have been recorded
In a Book we call the Bible.
They’re even printed out in RED
And like His BLOOD reliable!
But man dictates philosophy…
Which is really man’s religion…
To override the words that Jesus,
The Son of God has given.
Jesus healed but man will say
It’s not prevalent for today.
Erroneous logic will proclaim
That tongues have passed away.
Well, I’ve been healed so many times…
Spoken in tongues so long!
Please don’t tell me it’s the devil
Because my life will prove you wrong.
I’ve come out of so much sin…
Some of you would not believe!
But no life is deemed so hopeless
That the Spirit can’t retrieve.
Vain deceit, traditions of men,
And rudiments of the world
Are all traps set up by Satan
That foolish man unfurled.
Were we not warned to beware?
Beware is a real strong word…
Yet some of us walk blindly on
Like we’ve never even heard.
Beware that men don’t spoil us
With these gospels of their own
If we are led by the Spirit…
We know who’s on The Throne.
Will we believe what Jesus said?
Will His Word salvage our soul?
There is a reason he repeats
"Your faith has made you whole."
Man, in pursuit of recognition,
Has tendencies to deceive
It all boils down to one small fact…
Whom will we believe?

Colossians 2:6-10
As you have therefore received Christ Jesus
the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up
in Him and established in the faith
as you have been taught, abounding in it
with thanksgiving.
Beware lest anyone cheat you
through philosophy and empty deceit,
according to the tradition of men,
according to the basic principles of the world,
and not according to Christ.
For in Him
dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;
and you are complete in Him, who is
the head of all principality and power.
