Our Worship Dilema
We went to Worship Christ this morning,
and I shall not besmirch
But I felt like a Catholic,
in a Baptist Church
I'll tell you all a story,
I'll do the best I can
To explain the prior stanza,
to help you understand
You see we're Episcopalians,
of the Highest Rite
The highest in the Episcopal Church,
that's maybe why I'm so uptight
We're used to a large Procession,
many times I'd take the lead
But what we saw this morning,
was much less than we need
We need to feel the presence of,
Our Lord, Our Christ, Our King
For some it may not matter,
for us, a necessary thing
We need to hear the Sacristy Bell,
as the Ministers come in
As well as the Bells of Sanctus,
when the Eucharist begins
I need to wear my Vestments,
and lead the Laity
That's what I have been trained to do,
what my Lord asks of me
We need more than one Acolyte,
for the assistance of the Priests
At our old Church we had seven,
four at the very least
Our new Church is quite friendly,
welcomed us with open arms
Maybe we can assist them,
with our subtle charms
It's hard when you're outsiders,
to make a drastic change
God asks us for our patience,
He'll see what He can arrange
We truly hope this piece does not offend anyone.... When I am frustrated I write...God Bless
