Ten Thousand Instant Christians Lyrics by Max Boyce

Live at Treorchy

1974

When He sees the Hope and Anchor
Where we sang before the game
Where 'Cwm Rhondda' and 'Delilah'
First sounded both the same
The bar was filled with singing
Hymns came on a tray
Saturday was Sunday
I wonder what He'll say
What will He say?
What will He say?
I wonder, I wonder what He'll say?
When He sees the North Enclosure
With it's belly full of ale
And sees that male voice flagon
Sing to the twisted barrier rail
'Cwm Rhondda' and 'Penmachno'
Hymns of yesterday
Only half remembered
I wonder what He'll say
What will He say?
What will He say?
I wonder, I wonder what He'll say?
When He sees that touch-line tenor
With his copy made of sand
Ten Thousand Instant Christians
And the Glynneath Silver Band
'C'mon man, ref, for Christ's sake
That ball was still in play'
Ten Thousand Instant Christians
I wonder what He'll say
What will He say?
What will He say?
I wonder, I wonder what He'll say?
When He sees that empty chapel
With it's locked and shuttered door
And sees that dusty Bible
Cobweb covered floor
The numbers slowly dwindling
Much fewer now each day
Calfaria now a bingo hall
I wonder what He'll say
What will He say?
What will He say?
I wonder, I wonder what He'll say?
