Churchill?

Churchill?

We're all concerned when someone's ill,
especially someone whom we love.
We soothe them with our sympathy;
send them to the doctor with a shove.

But have you ever stopped to think
what you'd do if the CHURCH was 'ill'?
You could not give it a medical check,
fit a bandage, or give it a pill.

But if it is not working healthily
and we want it to be improved,
its problems must be identified
and eliminated before it's soothed.

A Church is not just a building;
it's the Members like me and you!
And therein lies the cause for 'sickness';
The faithful can get 'sick' too!

So, to make our Church a fitter place
lets point it and touch up the paint.
But, for a really big improvement,
lets change each sinner to a Saint!

Cast out bad habits and behaviour;
bring in care, compassion and love.
Our House will soon be in better order,
when we all give the Devil the shove.

We may not know who are the patients,
or who will 'doctor and nurse'.
No one will wear a uniform,
it will be harder than writing this verse.

Some of the sick will make good nurses;
the Consultants may be very few.
Support is needed from everyone;
it will come, from God, through you.

Your Church needs you now !!
