Sadly They Weren'T There

The deaf man heard the church bells ring, The blind man led him there, The arm-less put their hands together, The leg-less knelt in prayer, The mute's song filled the church with such joy, There was no room for despair And as for those sat in the empty pews ... Sadly, they weren't there, The deaf man heard God's mighty word, The blind man saw the light, The leg-less marched along with pride, The arm-less joined the fight, The mute sang lustily, joyfully bringing The words of the Bible alive, But as for those sat in the empty pews ... Sadly, they didn't arrive!
