What’s your vision–
Should someone inquire?
Would you go to church,
Attend and inspire?
Do you see steeples,
Pews in a row,
Classrooms for people
To learn and to grow?
If you consider
The church of old—
Think by the seaside,
Or homes where you grow.
Today we spend fortunes
On mortar and brick.
But, is that essential–
To worship’s the trick!
Of course we assemble
To encourage and grow.
Some rent a place—
Less funds, you know!
Put that aside—
With worship in view.
What is our purpose?
What should we do?
Disciples of old
Assembled and then,
Prayed to our God—
All was a win!
Communion was served
And hearts were combined.
Prayed and confessed—
It was divine!
View our assemblies–
Tradition kicks in—
What is our system?
Tradition, but then—
Also, it’s biblical
With elements, true.
Not a set order,
So, what Should we do?
Let’s look with fresh eyes—
Is God’s purpose clear?
Search in the Bible—
Rejoice, it is here!
Don’t let tradition
Control what you do!
God provides guidance—
Of course that is true!
There may be freedoms
Your search will provide.
God will give guidance—
Rejoice for you tried!
Examine your traditions —
Are they truth inspired?
Search out your source.–
That’s where truth’s acquired!
