Some come to church sit down and cry
They moan they groan and say
It’s not the same as days gone by
When Jesus came my way
The ministry is not the same
The services they bring
The way we worship Jesus’ name
The modern songs we sing
The waving hands the stamping feet
Receiving bread and wine
Hugging each other when we meet
When shaking hands was fine
What’s happened to the atmosphere?
The formal way of prayer
The way we showed godly fear
Through what we had to share
There’s so much laughter going on
Dancing within the aisles
Even when praising God’s own Son
The pews are full of smiles
Who’s walk has brought them through life’s Door
Who’ve whiled beneath The Tree
God’s Bread just as His Dew before
Comes to His children free
The gifts we have our talents too
The seed God’s had to sow
Is meant for lifting up the few
For Jesus bride to grow
Be wise and know one fact is true
However much you grieve
The old’s no better than the new
For those who Christ believe.....
