Bethesda Lyrics by St. Lenox

Ten Songs of Worship and Praise for Our Tumultuous Times

0

[Verse 1]
I remember back ten years or so
A local Lutheran church in Ames furnished
With fine wood pews, and orange cushions
Where we would sit and pray
Stained glass windows of saints and angels
Eyes skyward while the pastor in robes aplenty
Phrases from the King James version lift his words
High and mighty
[Chorus]
And he says that I should not be afraid
He preaches to me
Tells me that love is patient, love is kind
Faith hope and love
He says there’s a good thing coming ‘round the corner
Just round the corner
Tells me to shake hands with all my neighbors
I am your neighbor
That’s how we roll at Bethesda Lutheran
[Verse 2]
During sermon, we would draw in the margins
Of the programs counting out all the
Spelling errors and the minutes and the seconds
Until we could leave for home
After church we would eat the leftover
Bread and wine and drive to a local diner
Sometimes to a Chinese restaurant
Sometimes Red Lobster
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
On palm Sundays, they passed the leaves around
We would weave them into sheets and baskets
Pack the pews to make room for the
Only holiday crowds that gathered round
During hymns, I would
Pretend to sing the songs
But only mouth the words because
I really, really didn’t like to sing
At least not when they were watching
[Chorus]
