lirik lagu willy j "the prisoner of hope" - an empty church
verse 1:
waiting for the pastors sermon sittin’ on the benches
see the hurt in his eyes, pain he won’t mention
bitterness is building up jealousy won’t let go
tries to shout a hallelujah all he hears is echoes
the closing prayer is short and not so sweet as his tears fall
telling me don’t bother coming he gon’ take a week off
that week turned to months turned to for sale signs
i don’t understand it, last year it was filled with lives
he taught the truth nothin’ but it backed it with the word
sometimes hard to swallow but he dared to have the nerve
apparently people got offended wanted something sweeter
they didn’t want a pulpit these people wanted theaters
can’t afford the payments so he sits on the pavement
people left the truth in pursuit of entertainment
once a thriving body been converted to a tombstone
add another church to the city of dry bones
hook:2x
h-llo?
anybody there?
h-llo?
lord hear my prayer
h-llo?
ain’t n-body here
h-llo?
another empty church
verse 2:
there is no unity body is broken and people are building with no foundation
you have a beautiful building my brother sooo congratulations?
i don’t see truth in there, plenty of lights you have one heck of a show
but your protagonist is your pastor shouldn’t be jesus though?
don’t gimme that “don’t judge lest be judged” i know that
look at john 7:23 and you’ll see where my mind’s at
the size of your congregation does not impress me
cuz’ millions of people lined up for that cheetos mac-n-cheese
just because it tastes good doesn’t mean it’s good for ya
‘specially in the spiritual man that stuff will destroy ya
breakin bread? ya’ll breakin’ bags of sugar and ya’ll eat it up
taste the real gospel and some of ya’ll gonna throw it up
the body is strugglin’ we can’t see p-ss the fog machine
i’m tickin’ em’ off they’re saying “w-lly you’re being super mean”
i don’t want problems, i promise, i’m just being true
a mega church full of people can be empty too
hook:2x
h-llo?
anybody there?
h-llo?
lord hear my prayer
h-llo?
ain’t n-body here
h-llo?
another empty church
