sunday chorus

we're climbing the ladder of modern praise
rattling the gates heavy bass from on stage
everyone rises to join the joyful sing along
no hymnals needed because no song is wrong
the notes aren't ever hard to find
just reach out and grab and start to climb
swing right into a steady groove
and when the spirit speaks
it's okay to move
dance clap wave it's all cool
expresssion is the only rule

there aren't many bars
on the stairs past the stars
but it won't last long
our attention span's short
we'll sing a few songs
and get back to our sports

with the third chorus sung
we're on the last rung
now heaven is gained
with little to no pain
and we've peace of sound mind
that we're friendly and kind
and heaven won't desert us
after we've had enough of service
because church is still good
while there's plenty of food
