Sacred Grounds: watch your step
Some time ago, in America, sacred grounds were a place where you buried your dead…or a special place where you go to connect with the history of your faith. Nowadays, “sacred grounds” is a nomenclature for issues of the day. And, in the case of many of those issues, you’d better watch where you’re stepping. Especially if you’re a Christian.
Almost every day I read another article or story about a Christian business owner forced to do or accept a policy he or she opposes for reasons of faith. And while that was once inconceivable in America, the country founded on religious freedom, it pales in comparison to the persecution Christians are facing around the world. All either in the name of “diversity and tolerance” or at the hands of ruthless, Godless regimes.
For people who hate God, issues like diversity, tolerance, and multiculturalism, have become sacred grounds. And if Christians don’t step lightly…or better yet, accept willingly…they’d better just watch out. That sort of hypocrisy inspired me to write this song. (I’ll be sharing it in an upcoming episode of the FunderCast
Nothin’s Sacred Anymore
Take the truth and lock it up, and throw away the key
Winds of change are blowing foul; a dance with destiny
Blur the face of love and sex and say it’s all OK
Tell the child it’s just a choice and melt her soul away
Nothin’s sacred anymore”
Can’t we learn from mistakes when they cut to the core
Nothin’s sacred anymore”
And should we be surprised since we’ve opened that dark, wide door?
Nothin’s sacred anymore
Cast your vote for social growth and then say yes to law
Keep the peace, divide the wealth; the vision Adolph saw
Hedge the bets and ride the fence; the middle road’s secure
Then one day you’re head to head with all you must endure
Nothin’s sacred anymore”
Can’t we learn from mistakes when they cut to the core
Nothin’s sacred anymore”
And should we be surprised”¨since we’ve opened that dark, wide door?
Nothin’s sacred anymore
More space and time”more would be sublime
Someone else can pay”long as I get mine today
Ain’t nothin’ sacred anymore
