Wolves In Sheep's Clothing
by Krystal Kuehn
This poem is dedicated to everyone who has ever been hurt, confused, led astray, or turned off to God
and Christianity because of the hypocrisy of someone who called himself or herself a Christian.
Wolves in sheep's clothing; They come in Your name
Pastors, teachers and leaders using the Gospel for selfish gain
They preach using Your words; Telling us right from wrong
And fearlessly praise You singing their sacred song
With beautiful prayers they tell all the Words' worth
Teaching all about the Lord Jesus and the new birth
They say that they love You with their heart, soul, and mind
Yet they will use, cheat, lie, and oppress, hurt and bind
It doesn't make sense; They leave one to wonder
How they could say one thing and do quite another
Deceitful and cunning; They lead many astray
Turning hearts from you Lord, confused and left in array
We don't understand it when we can't separate them from You
Help us focus on Your goodness and not what they do
Oh, Lord, hear our cries of frustration; don't leave us alone
Let Your light open our eyes and lead us back home
Oh, hear our prayers to know You, to grow closer than ever before
Mend our broken hearts to trust you so much more
Help us pray for the wounded, the disenchanted and naive
For the wolves in sheep's clothing and all those they deceive
Thank you Lord Jesus, the Shepherd of our soul
Wherever you lead us is where we will go
Keep us from falling, from going astray
Guide us by Your light; Teach us Your ways
Help us to walk with You, to learn as we are growing
And protect us from evil and from wolves in sheep's clothing
