You have made My holiness hollow
You love ritual more than you love Me
Your faith has become cold and shallow
That is not how I meant it to be
The poor feel they cannot approach
Out of touch, far away, just too clean
Your religion denies rat and roach
When in fact that’s where I have been
I was born in a stable not a palace
There was manure, bed bugs and fleas
My blood in a cup, not a chalice
You have done with my name as you please
You glory in pomp and parade
You dress well, bejeweled, full of shine
My garments were just common grade
I was as human as I was divine
But you have made Me so free of dirt
And you claim that brings glory to Me
When it is I who took on the unholy
So I can set the unholy free
When you dress for praise and for worship
When you stand to adore kneel to pray
Remember I was stripped naked and beaten
Like common folk you see every day
Don’t continue to make my holiness hollow
Holiness is what I always will be
Understand this, then you can follow
I became human so you could touch me
