Analysis of Has Church Become Rotary Club. Book Club? Bargain Store?
I have chafed at foolishness
And games played at the Church
Team spirit gone right o'er the top
And DVD's and "merch".
Stirred up with empowerment
And battle songs each time
Where the tender, broken-hearted
Saints who seek to climb.
But climb into Christ -likeness
With lowly stance and aid
Wearing garb of uprightness
Just step back please
From pep rallies
And grab hold of His Yoke
And Pastor give some warnings here
To Holy Life invoke.
