The Church Coffin

WALK QUIETLY ON THE FUNERAL MARCH
TEARS ARE DROPPING THROAT IS PARCHED
WIDOW WORLD IN BLACK HAS LOST HER LIGHT
ALL HER HOPES AND DREAMS FADE INTO THE NIGHT
WHO HAS DIED? WHO’S WITHIN?
WE’VE COME TO THE SERVICES OF THE CHURCH COFFIN
A SONG AND A PRAYER
AN OFFERING AND PRAISE
THE WORD OF GOD IS SHUT UP
IN A BOX ON SUNDAYS
SO MUCH LOVE INSIDE
WHILE OUTSIDE THEY ARE SCREAMING FOR HELP
SO MUCH LOVE INSIDE
WHILE OUTSIDE THEY ARE DANCING TO HELL
WHO HAS DIED? WHO’S WITHIN
WE’VE COME TO THE SERVICES OF THE CHURCH COFFIN
ONWARD TO THE CEMETERY
READ THE EPITAPH
I TOLD MY CHURCH TO “GO” BUT ON THEIR COMFORTABLE PEW THEY SAT
ABOUT 6 FEET DOWN
THE CASKET IS LAID
DIRT AND GREEN GRASS
ROLLED OVER THE GRAVE
WILL THERE BE A RESURRECTION?
WHAT WILL THE CHURCH DO?
WILL THERE BE A RAISING OF THE DEAD?
IT’S UP TO YOU!

“Woe to you, because you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without knowing it.” ( Luke 11:44 )
