The old store stood there idle
abandoned in a lifeless shell.
The fact it once jumped with action
was impossible to tell.
A flurry of activity
suddenly filled the air.
Now a big bright banner hangs
like a fiery roadside flare.
Things will be different somehow--
it’s under new management now.
The season has gone from bad to worse
for the local baseball team.
Prospects that once looked so bright
have become a most painful dream.
They’ve traded players with no success
their record gets even worse.
Some even thought they’d been hit
by some superstitious curse.
The skipper took his final bow --
They’re under new management.
With life a mess and hope all gone
a messed up man entered the door
of the small but beautiful church
where he’d never gone before.
Hymns were sung and prayers were prayed,
the preacher had something good to say.
It all mixed in a perfect blend
God touched him in a special way.
He left that church with a brand new vow --
he’s under new management now.
Larry I've been asked before why do I go to church and I can't help but feel it's because it makes me feel like a new person, and there is always room for new construction. I was blessed when you visit me on my site, thank you.
