Lord, Lord,
in your name;
we have become powerful
in the ways of our
self-reliant self-made world.
Aren’t you impressed?

Lord, Lord,
we push your name
into every conversation
and every email we send.
How can you say
you never knew us?

Lord, Lord,
we have programs
and courses
that keep us busy and focussed
on improving one another.
Don’t you just want to join us?

Lord, Lord,
isn’t maintaining
our preaching
and singing
and worship
of your name
more important than
the risk of wasting it all
on costly service
to those who don’t even turn up
to church?
