The Sinner

Open the church door! They all did scream and implore, We are all full of sin So, please, please let us in. But, the church would not allow it They all would of had a fit, They wouldn't allow them none inside So, from them they all did hide. We do not like how you dress The members at the church all did confess, We don't like the tattoos that you wear Or how people always stare. We don't like where you live We don't like that you never give, And you have never given any tithes And you never helped to organize. The congregation and the pastor then did say Please, please walk away, You're not cut from the same cloth as us You don't need to know Jesus. You don't vote the way that we vote And you don't read and believe what we wrote, And I say this with all certainty You wouldn't like or fit in with our family. So, on the church door they stopped knocking Away from that church they began walking, Then they walked to the other part of the city Where you also see the poor and the needy. Then they stopped at another church to enter And they happily allowed in the sinner, The pastor and the congregation said to them Let us worship and sing the Lord a hymn. Randy L. McClave
