Welcome to our Church
by Nemo Reilly
Welcome to our church!
We haven't met God but we've got a guitar.
Welcome to our church;
Join our history;
Without vision, without need for
We don't die--hail Jesus!
Welcome to our church--
We're God's children--
And we have good children,
They know if they don't listen
They will, one day, in a lake of fire
Forever pray for death
Welcome to our church!
It's bingo night this bake sale!
And we the privileged, know the insecurity of God--
In His Judgment.
You wonder, as if God were inside
Hail Jesus--we believe there must be evil.
Welcome to our church.
Our stone is a blanket
Where upon our children gaily paint the walls
Of the prison of Love
Where lies a future,
As poets; to stare at stars
and spew folly.
