Pastor's and Their Kids
Oh horrid truth and oft denied within the church today
A pastor's child can be the worst to up and walk away
From God and from His Bible and the Truth that lies therein
To compromise their soul away in Satan's world of sin
Not always bold and open as we see so many do
But often very subtly in phases they go through
That entertained a notion someone shared with them at camp
Or simply stole away the Light that once had been their Lamp
For Satan sees a target in the ones who testify
That they've been given light from God to give a certain cry
To all the world to follow Him along His narrow path
That leads to God's eternal gift and not His final wrath
And those whom he sees working for the harvest of the Lord
Are those whom he works hardest to make sure his kids ignore
The principles of godliness the world has need to see
That should be shining brightest in a godly family
And as his children wander so the pastor tends to flee
The Standards he once held aloft with strict integrity
Assuming that his faithfulness to God's to great a price
And choosing the affection of his children over Christ
Until not just his children but his flock is wayward too
By compromises that they see their pastor say and do
And God is just a byword passing through their lips each day
To make them feel more holy in the worldly things they say
But compromise is never what the Lord would have us do
Pretending all is well no matter what we put Christ through
While claiming to be righteous we condemn ourselves to hell
And take the ones God's given us to judgement's seat as well
To face our final record where the way that we did choose
Will be exposed to everyone whom we did cause to lose
The promise of eternal life because of compromise
When living by a loving faith would have been Godly wise
So friend if you're a pastor or the child of one who's tried
And tempted by the devil's ways for which our Saviour died
Look fully at the cross of Christ and all that He went through
And question is it really worth the sin you're want to do
Galatians 6:14; Hebrews 3:5-6; 6:1-6
