Come To Our Church (dot com)

music and lyrics by Bernard Hull

CHORUS:

Come to our church, we’ve got all that you need,
We’ve got Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and satellite feed,
We’ve got Voice over I.P. and eight channel sound,
With a megawatt sub-bass to rattle the ground.

VERSE:
The world keeps on changing so we’re changing too,
The church’s old, out-dated name just won’t do,
So a marketing team has joined in with the game,
To create a new image, new logo, new name.

CHORUS:

VERSE:
The church’s interior’s all painted dark grey,
It looks so much more like a night club that way,
And we sing and we dance and we pray for revival
But the room is so dark that you can’t read your Bible.

CHORUS:

VERSE:
The worship team’s just made a new DVD
It’s in Dolby surround sound and filmed in 3D
In the VIP Lounge you can watch it for free
On our ten metre wide plasma H.D.T.V.

CHORUS:

VERSE:
So I’m selling the rights to the name of this song
You can put in your bid now on Ebay dot com,
And the money I raise will be put straight to work
Buying Jason Recliners for pews in the church.

CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean to be rude,
But I don’t understand why these things are pursued,
Tell me who are we trying so hard to impress?
Is it God? Can you honestly answer me, “Yes”?
If we’re copying Hollywood for Jesus’ sake,
Just remember that Hollywood’s totally fake.

CHORUS:
Come to our church, we’ve got programs galore,
We’ve got people to welcome you right at the door,
We have every conceivable technical tool,
And the cars that we drive would make rich people drool.

VERSE:
I went to a church that was thatched on the roof,
And the singing and preaching was all about truth,
There was no fancy tricks, no fake smoke in the air,
But God’s blessed Holy Spirit was certainly there.

CHORUS:
Come to our church, we’ve got everything here,
We preach Christ crucified and “Redemption is near”
We teach all about God’s true and wonderful grace,
And the Kingdom of God is alive in this place,

Come to God’s church where he does what He likes,
Without data projectors and radio mics,
And his Blessed Holy Spirit is there to be found,
And if He’s in the mood,
Yes, if He’s in the mood,
Yes, if God’s in the mood,
He might rattle the ground!
