Once Upon A Pew

I Sat Once upon a pew, I sat And heard the preacher ask,
"We need someone to teach a class, Now who will take this task?"

Then God sat down beside me there And said, "Son, that's for you."
"But, Lord, to stand before a class Is one thing I can't do"

Now Bill would be the man to call, There's nothing he won't do.
"I'd rather hear the lesson taught From here upon my pew."

Once upon a pew I sat And heard the preacher ask,
"We need someone to lead the songs, Now who will take this task?"

Then God sat down beside me there And said, "Son, that's for you."
"But Lord, to sing before a crowd Is one thing I can't do.

Now Brother King will do the job, There's nothing he won't do.
"I'd rather hear the music played From here upon my pew."

Once upon a pew I sat And heard the preacher ask,
"I need someone tokeep the door, Now who will take this task?"

Then God sat down beside me there And said,
"Son, that's for you."
"But saying things to strangers, Lord, Is one thing I can't do"

Now Tom can talk to people, Lord, There's nothing he won't do.
"I'd rather someone come to me And greet me on the pew."

As years just seemed to pass me by, I heard that voice no more.
Until one night I closed my eyes And woke on heaven's shore.

'Twas four of us together there To face eternity.
God said,
"I need just three of you To do a job for me."

"O Lord, I cried, "I'll do the job, There's nothing I won't do."
But Jesus said,
"I'm sorry, Friend, In Heaven there's no pew."

Diary of an unborn child by Karen Cullen

“Here I am a tiny seed and just a few weeks old,
I know that I’m not wanted mum, your thoughts they leave me cold.
You and dad were seeking love the night I was conceived
And so you got together and now we are a three”

“Give me a chance to prove how loveable I can be,
I’ll fill the void dad left behind when you snuggle close to me.
I’ll make you laugh, I’ll make you cry but mum can’t you see,
Emotions are a gift from God, given to you and me”

“Although I’m just a tiny seed,
My feelings are quite strong,
It hurts to know you want rid of me,
But mum you do me wrong”

“Please mummy let me stay,
In your warm and loving womb,
Don’t let me die in that plastic bag-
A cold abortionist tomb”

“Now here I am so helpless, I cant defend myself,
The pain and cold are killing me in this jar upon the shelf,
So many eyes they look at me and all are wondering why-
I didn’t get the chance to live, before I had to die”

Jesus Our Saviour by Karen Cullen

God loves the world so dearly,
He sent his precious son,
To bear our sins at Calvary-
To die for everyone.

Jesus came to save us,
He died for you and me,
He wants the world to know
that salvation - it is free.

Open up your heart,
Trust him all the way,
Let Jesus enter in
and he will always stay.

When life seems hard,
Too much to bear,
Just trust in Jesus,
He’s always there.

He’ll never leave you, nor forsake you,
Gods word it tells us so,
Jesus is our Saviour-
The world, it has to know.
