Terror In the Pews

In the church where God's spirit dwells The bible study was going well A stranger walks in and joins the group And then to evil he would soon stoop Gunshots echo through the pews As innocent blood begins to spew The same people who had treated him so well Were shot in cold blood by this demon from hell The healing process has now begun But when will this senseless violence be done Tears of a nation once more are shed As gunshots echo, and innocents lay dead....
