“The church is different,” you hear them say.
“It’s not like it was in my younger day.
“We have strayed so far from the Lord,” they said,
“spirituality is really dead.”
They said the church had played serious games
with that new translation from old King James.
Martin Luther tried to straighten things out
but he couldn’t rid the church of it’s doubt.
Science gave a challenge to get us on track
but the church was fighting to turn the clock back.
Old time religion we ask God to give
just like they sang when we wish we could live.
God must be hoping we’d just look ahead
and sorry we keep looking back instead.
God must believe that the church will grow
but knows that our looking back makes it slow.
Just imagine if we followed God’s lead
how much more the church would truly succeed.
If we could just see God’s vision today
the things Jesus showed would come into play.
