Will it be the actors?
Will it be the singers?
Or will it be the dancers
Who bring the Gospel
With a twist?
Or will it be the pastors,
The apostles and the prophets,
The teachers and evangelists?
I see a world steeped in tears of sorrow,
there is so much bigotry, greed, and hate,
that I fear what fate awaits tomorrow.
As politicians scam you to donate,
corruption flows like an open floodgate.
Depriving women of having a choice;
fascists and evangelists share one voice.
The uneducated support a fool,
and both political parties rejoice;
the poorly informed are a useful tool.
A holy, amaranthine light,
Surely guides the world aright,
Lo! To distant nations yon,
The golden flame of faith,
Carries eastward on!
Promethean, the fire shines
And has shone, since olden times:-
Evangelists in days bygone,
Stole the sterling flame,
From Hyperion!
The flame the lamp-like Pharos bore,
Lit the ancient Grecian shore,
But, behold the valiant sight:-
The golden flame of faith,
Immortal, stays alight
Who moved the stone?
On Sunday - who indeed?
Evangelists extol
A most baseless creed
If the stone were shifted
As a shot-put heft
By some improbable
Conspiracy - or theft
And Peter in his madness
Encountered but the air
Never having witnessed
His visage or His glare
And no angelic radiance
(That diadems were dim)
Met Mary at the somber
Sepulchre of Him
Priests, preachers, and Evangelists,
I've listened to them all;
But what would I do without Calvary,
Had I not heard the sweet Savior's call?
For Man cannot do as his own will directs,
And still gain the sweet Bye And Bye;
Nor preachers forgive them the sins of a life,
That was wasted though try as they might.
For only The Son can finish the job,
That The Father, Himself has begun.
The Spirit must lead us, must guide and must teach us,
Only on God to rely.
