laodicea Lyrics

The church in Laodicea was the richest of them all

The earthquake hit and they didn't even need the help from Rome

And violet silk and food to fill their hearts for all their days

But Jesus wasn't happy with their ways

They had eye salves but they were blind

And they had gold but they were poor

They had garments of the greatest kind

But were unclothed in the eyes of the Lord

And I've got so much love to give

But I'm still writing songs about you

It's been long enough to say I've had the time to think about it

And when I do, I see where I was wrong

For all it's worth, the Bible verses I'm studying in college

Have brought me to a place of reckoning

I wonder if the Laodiceans cast aside their wealth

And made it to the kingdom in the sky

And if missing you is torture, then my life's a living hell

And I wish we never had to say goodbye

And I've got so much love to give

But I'm still writing songs about you
