Lyrics	Writers notes
Your home was my safe place But they’ve taken it away Expected to see your face Lord, we need you to stay You refuse to repent I’ll spit you from my mouth You allow the serpent To dwell in my house Can’t you see Can’t you see The words you hear Aren’t coming from me I needed the truth From a man of faith I asked what’s the use Nothing but lies from his face The whole world wants us To change just for them Make them feel better A license to sin Can’t you see Can’t you see The words you hear Aren’t coming from me We’re attacked from all sides We need that safe place Oh God I ask you To show us your face A day is coming We will see the Son of man Take back your church Lead us by your hand Can’t you see Can’t you see The words you hear Aren’t coming from me	There’s no way to talk about this song and be politically correct. The word “ detestable” in the bible was not used lightly. Certain guidelines were laid down to ensure that the church could stand up to the testing of God himself. We all know that churches aren’t perfect because they are made up of people, but God set up standards for the way that they should be run. There were guidelines for priest, deacons, and all other ministries in the church. According to Leviticus 18:23, “ do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman, that is detestable”, God is saying that we are not to have practicing homosexuals serving in the church. I’m not saying that they shouldn’t be allowed to go to church and not be showed love and understanding, but that they should not be ministers in the church. I am not writing this from a man’s perspective, but from the word of God. This song is about that same topic.
