great song with challenging lyrics

I Repent
by Derek Webb, on the album "I See Things Upside Down"

I repent, I repent of my pursuit of America’s dream
I repent, I repent of living like I deserve anything
Of my house, my fence, my kids, my wife
In our suburb where we’re safe and white
I am wrong and of these things I repent

I repent, I repent of parading my liberty
I repent, I repent of paying for what I get for free
And for the way I believe that I am living right
By trading sins for others that are easier to hide
I am wrong and of these things I repent

[Bridge]I repent of judging by a law that even I can’t keep
Of wearing righteousness like a disguise
To see through the planks of my own eyes

I repent, I repent of trading truth for false unity
I repent, I repent of confusing peace and idolatry
By caring more of what they think than what I know of what we need
By domesticating you until you look just like me
I am wrong and of these thingsI am wrong and of these things
Oh I am wrong and of these things I repent

Just some good stuff to ponder there...I certainly know I need to repent of many attitudes mentioned...

And I'm sure that even at first glance, some of the things Derek says he repents from would make some blood boil...but I think that's the point. We do live like we are entitled, like we deserve all we have, etc. We should instead be grateful for what we have, be willing to share it...and be content in the Lord alone should it all be taken away...and that is difficult for most Western Christians to grasp (including me more than I like to admit).
