Brazen faith (Isaiah 58)

When I see injustice
Am I not to speak out?
When I see deceit
Am I not to cry out?

Oh Lord what is fasting
From meat and gold
And the luxuries of life
So that we may appear more righteous

Oh Lord what is religion
Of going to churches
And singing hymns
So that we may appear more pure

Oh God you tell me
That true fasting

Is fighting
To set the oppressed free

Is caring
For the poor and hungry

Is honoring the time
Spent with you

Oh God I have no shame
In my faith
In my cries at injustice
In my shouts of disbelief
At the human condition

Lord God I will follow you
With brazen faith
I will follow you
No matter what the enemy
Throws my way
I will follow you
With brazen faith
I will follow you
