Geelow45 - religion vs relationship Lyrics

They told me "Stay in line, don't step outta place,"
"Follow the rules or you'll fall from grace."
Religion said, "Don't associate, stay in your zone,"
Relationship said, "Reach out, you're never alone."
It's more than rituals, deeper than traditions,
God's love is personal, beyond man's conditions.

Religion builds walls, but grace breaks chains,
Relationship calls through storms and pain.
It's not what you do, it's who you know,
Surrender your heart, let His mercy flow.

They preach perfection, wear masks of pride,
But God sees your soul, you can't hide inside.
Religion is duty, cold and confined,
Relationship is freedom, peace in your mind.
It's not a checklist or keeping score,
It's love that fills you, soul restored.

Religion builds walls, but grace breaks chains,
Relationship calls through storms and pain.
It's not what you do, it's who you know,
Surrender your heart, let His mercy flow.

They say earn your way with acts and deeds,
But God just asks for faith-He meets your needs.
Religion says "Prove it, show that you're worthy,"
Relationship says "Come now, I'll clean you early."
No fear of judgment when love's in control,
God's grace covers all-it mends the soul.

Religion builds walls, but grace breaks chains,
Relationship calls through storms and pain.
It's not what you do, it's who you know,
Surrender your heart, let His mercy flow.

Identity's more than titles or fame,
Religion gives labels; God calls your name.
It's not about membership or outward display,
It's knowing He's with you, come what may.
Forget the spotlight, seek His face,
True connection happens in secret space.

Religion builds walls, but grace breaks chains,
Relationship calls through storms and pain.
It's not what you do, it's who you know,
Surrender your heart, let His mercy flow.

They strive for approval, chasing applause,
But grace isn't earned-it's love without cause.
Religion says "Earn it," relationship says "Come,"
God's love is forever, no matter where you're from.
It's not about striving but resting in grace,
Let Him rewrite your story, take your place.

It's not rules-it's relationship.
Not perfection-it's connection.
Come as you are, let grace redefine,
You're loved by the Author of space and time.
For God love is divine
