It was sad even heartbreaking to have seen the church I attended in the nineties go through this and not, in hindsight had the courage to stand up and be counted,
an ‘if only’ moment When I felt I let God down but thank God He never has let me down. Lesson learnt!!!!
It was 18 years ago
It was 18 years ago when I found the Lord
The minister always started his
‘Testimony monologue’
When a stranger came into church…
“When God came into my life.
Changed me from a
Good time worldly youth
To a child of God”
“I used to go into all my old haunts proclaiming Jesus
Telling of what God had done”
“Now I stand proud in the pulpit
Proclaiming Gods name
Telling how great God was,
Eighteen years ago!
How He saved me from sin
How He changed my life
How He could do the same for others
If only they’d come here into church”.
Satan’s quite happy
Sat in the back row that the
One that slipped from his evil grasp,
Is now hiding behind closed doors
His faith has been tarnished
Faded over time,
Now the excitement of sharing his faith is reserved for the pulpit
Confined in the house of God
Eighteen years on
Where’s the zeal where’s the passion
To go into all the world?
sat in the pulpit
Waiting for them to come in,
‘So I can preached my perfected message,
Eighteen years of practiced Hell fire and Damnation
Bullying them in to heaven’…
So why God? was his prayer
Why does no one come in?
Into my house of God
why does no one come?
What are You God doing wrong?
“I’ve got my stand by sermon”
Easy to recognise the signs
If anyone dares venture in
just in case they are not one of Gods family
And need to come under condemnation
And come under the authority Of God
Has going into all the world
Been reduced
to opening the doors on Sunday
And for waiting on God to send Holy Spirit down on Tuesday night
Hoping they will come onto my turf
We’ve put posters up
God you’re going to have a
Right good rethink
Cos what you’re doing isn’t working,
Nobody’s turned upon
Hey God where are you?
What do you mean you’ve moved on?
Don’t you remember what happened
It was good enough for me
Eighteen years ago “
Why is it not working now?
Why is nobody coming?”
Why have we run out of money?
Why do we have to close the church down?
Why is it a carpet warehouse?
Where are you?
Hey God are you listening
When are you going to get round to revival?
This is not what I’ve been planning!
No offence
This is a true story
Only places and names changed to protect the innocent???
