In Christian circles
by Unami Magwenzi In Christian circles, I am surrounded by judgment, I stand in fear of reproach, I wish I could be myself, And laugh and cry and not care. In Christian circles, I dare not be myself, I dare not make silly comments, I dare not make a mistake, I dare not be human, Oh how I wish... That in Christian circles, Christ would be there among us, Like in the days of old, Like when he ate with the sinners, Like when he mingled with all sorts, In Christian circles, I wish I'd find a friend. Unconditional love all around, Be seen first as a person, Then maybe as a sinner, Be seen first as valuable, Then maybe as needing Christ, In Christian circles. I will still stay in Christian circles, And I will keep on hoping, That maybe after a while, That the message will sink in, That Christ died for mankind, That God first loved the world, then he gave.
