the Church through Rock n Roll:2 acts

Act 1:



"I don't believe in an interventionist God, but I know that you do;
If I were to see Him I would ask not to intervene when it came to you.
Not to touch a hair upon your head,
and if He was to direct you,
then direct you into my arms..."

Act II:

"A man of sorrows
wrecked
by thoughts that dare not speak their name,
trapped inside a body
made to feel
only guilt and shame..."

I don't care how silly it looks. It sounds great. The fact that this is all fun and games only adds to the experience. At least there's no "oh my what a source of cultural importance" idolizing that one encounters with say The Beatles or The Stones.

They're just playing rock n'roll and they like it, like it, yes they do.
