OPEN LINE FRIDAY: Hymn for Heretics, Heterodox, Heathen, and Hucksters

   Seeing who is on the advisory panel for the upcoming HISTORY CHANNEL production of THE BIBLE (or whatever) and also just constantly being bombarded by the devilish inanity of modern protestantism and its corrosive feculent affect on the Church of the Unaltered Augsburg Confession (what I call the "goof-ball-ization" of Missourah), I wrote the following hymn.  It is dedicated to a warrior for the truth, my FB friend Chris Rosebrough.
   It is to be sung after 6 or 9 beers and WITH GUSTO (con gusto?)

 

EGO ENSHRINE

TLH # 394 My Faith Looks Up to Thee

 

Your faith looks up to me

I’m on cable TV

Ego enshrine

Now watch me while I pray

I like it when you pay

All eyes on me today

I’m doing fine

I like to play my role

Leading church rock and roll

Do it my way

No more dry boring creeds

Not doctrine but my deeds

Meeting your heart felt needs

Choose me today

 

Building disciples true

Molding the chosen few

Born again saints

Power glory and fame

No gimmick is too tame

Sacraments are so lame

That blood talk taints

Now that I’ve found my niche

Successful smart and rich

Ego O Be!

The Lord he needs me so

I’ve caused his church to grow

The new Triune I know

I mine and me
