SEZ I TO MYSELF

Sez I to myself, as I grumbled and growled,
"I'm sick of my church," and then, how I scowled!
"The members unfriendly, the sermons too long - -
In fact, it seems that everything's wrong.
I don't like the singing; the church's a disgrace,
For signs of neglect are all over the place.
I'll quit going there. I won't give a dime;
I can make better use of my money and time."

Then sez my conscience to me, sez he,
"The trouble with you is, you're too blind to see
That your church reflects you, whatever it be.
Now, come, pray and pay and serve cheerfully;
Stop all your faultfinding and boost it up strong.
You'll find you'll be happy and proud to belong.
Be friendly and willing and sing as you work,
For churches aren't built by members who shirk."
