Lullaby for a Petrified Sacred Society by Jason Upton

Note the title to this song before reading it... the words are meant to be provocative. Read the words and think of ways Christian culture has created and environment where we are in a sort of "panic room".

Shut up the windows
Lock all the doors
Make sure nobody gets in
learn to protect what is rightfully yours
Or someone will take it my friend

We'll all sleep well tonight
With no worry about tomorrow
Everything's all right
Safe in our panic room

We're building a wall
Higher and higher
Come join the gospel crusade
Don't you know God loves
good little helpers
Can't wait to show Him what we've made

There's doctors and lawyers
and presidents here
We've all become the best of friends
Finally people are lending an ear
Truth has become relevant

Our prophets are nicer
and kinder and sweeter
We've partnered in their great reward
They bless us with peace
in exchange for a token
What more could we ever ask for?
