Here is a truth that should be learned: The churches, all which Paul confirmed, Were singular, in his address; And this was neither more, nor less Than God designed for us to see, And this design will set us free. The plural term was for Galatia, Similarly, those in Asia. In one city, the church is one. Where, then, has this pattern gone? Denominations do abound And bury freedom in the ground. Against this truth they all protest, Dividing their flock from the rest. But feed MY sheep was Jesus word. To call them yours is quite absurd! The pastors who devour the flock Will soon be smitten by the Rock! Elders, plural, is the rule. Who rules alone becomes a fool. And all of us do court disaster Giving power to a pastor. Now this should not come as a shock, A group of elders feed the flock. City-wide they oversee, Serving well both you and me. Ah! But! this is not true in fact. How then, dear brother can I act? Gods plan is plain as plain can be, But where is the reality? Friend, we see this only when The church of God begins again To walk by our dear Lords design, And all the rest just falls in line. Cunning imitations forged Have never yet Gods truth disgorged. To self-promote and self-appoint Does put this Body out of joint. Denominations do apply A tourniquet until we die Through lack of blood and lack of love, Oh! turn, with me, to him above, And let the virgin bride of Christ Respond to his great sacrifice! H.K.Pywell 22.2.1992
