Kid Rock - AMEN: Simplify, testify, identify, rectify

Prophetic words so often come of the bodies and mouths of people who are quite unexpected.  Robert James Ritchie , better known as   Kid Rock, does not fit the profile for a modern day prophet - his relationship with Pam Anderson, drugs and the law are just the most obvious example.  That said, the song AMEN (full lyrics below) off his most recent album ROCK & ROLL JESUS has powerful words for America:

It's another night in hell
Another child won't live to tell
Can you imagine what it's like to starve to death

And as we sit free and well
Another soldier has to yell
Tell my wife and children I love them in his last breath

C'mon now amen, amen, amen

Habitual offenders, scumbag lawyers with agendas
I'll tell you sometimes people I don't know what's worse
Natural disasters or these wolves in sheep clothes pastors
Now damn it I'm scared to send my children to church
And how can we seek salvation when our nations race relations
Got me feeling guilty of being white
But faith in human nature, our creator and our savior, I'm no saint
But I believe in what is right

C'mon now amen, amen
I said amen, amen

Stop pointing fingers and take some blame,
Pull your future away from the flame
Open up your mind and start to live
Stop short changing your neighbors
Living off hand outs and favors, and maybe
Give a little bit more than you got to give

Simplify, testify, identify, rectify
And if I get high stop being so uptight
It's only human nature and I am not a stranger
So baby won't you stay with me tonight

I wanted to comment on the song Amen. If someone is going to talk about what is right then they need to make sure they are not being a hypocrite as they judge so called hypocritical churches, pastors, people ect. If they do this like Kid rock has done in this song then they are no better than anyone else. This is exactly why the bible says "We have ALL sinned and fallen short of the glory of God"(Romans 3:23). We ALL need Jesus to forgive us of these sins that we freely participate in. Kid Rock is no different then the world that he is judging and his comment in the lyrics as to "so baby won't you stay with me tonight" proves it. Fornication (sex outside of marriage is a sin). I believe that Kid rock and this song has said nothing new that hasn't already been said or sung. It appears that the message is saying "leave me alone so I can do my drugs", by pointing the finger at everyone else's problem. I believe in phycological terms that is called (projecting) or pointing the finger at someone else so that he doesn't have to look at his own behavior. We must all stand and give an account of our lives at the day of Judgement (Romans 14:10) (me included). Thanks for reading my comment. God Bless you and may you KNOW THE TRUTH...
