♫ I Sure Do Love The Lord
♦ Deuteronomy 11: 16-21 ♦ (The Message)
16 But be vigilant, lest you be seduced away and end up
serving and worshiping other gods
17 and God erupts in anger and shuts down Heaven so there's
no rain and nothing grows in the fields, and in no time at
all you're starved out - not a trace of you left on the good
land that God is giving you.
18 Place these words on your hearts. Get them deep inside
you. Tie them on your hands and foreheads as a reminder.
19 Teach them to your children. Talk about them wherever you
are, sitting at home or walking in the street; talk about
them from the time you get up in the morning until you fall
into bed at night.
20 Inscribe them on the door-posts and gates of your cities
21 so that you'll live a long time, and your children with
you, on the soil that God promised to give your ancestors
for as long as there is a sky over the Earth.

♫ Trouble In The Amen Corner
Trouble in the Amen Corner
by Archie Campbell
It was a stylish congregation: you could see they’d been around,
And they had the biggest pipe organ of any church in town.
But over in the amen-corner of that church sat Brother Eyer,
and he insisted every Sunday on singing in the choir.
His voice was cracked and broken; age had touched his vocal chords,
And nearly every Sunday he’d get behind and miss the words.
Well, the choir got so flustered the church was told in fine
that Brother Eyer must stop his singing or the choir was gonna resign.
So the pastor appointed a committee, I think it was three or four,
and they got in their big fine car and drove up to Eyer’s door.
They found the choir’s great trouble sitting there in an old arm-chair,
And the summer’s golden sunbeams lay upon his snow-white hair.
Said York, “Ah, we’re here dear Brother, with the vestry’s approbation
to discuss a little matter that affects the congregation.
Now, it seems that your voice is interfered with the choir,
So, if you’ll just lay out, or... Are you listening, Brother Eyer..?”
The old man raised his head, a sign that he did hear;
and on his cheek the 3 men caught the glitter of a tear.
His feeble hands pushed back the locks as white as silky snow,
and he answered the committee in a voice both soft and low:
“I wonder if beyond the tide that’s breaking at my feet,
in that far-off heavenly temple where my Master and I shall meet:
Yes, I wonder if, when I try to sing the songs of God up higher
I wonder if they’ll kick me out up there for singin' in Heaven’s choir?”
A silence filled the little room, the old man bowed his head;
The committee went on back to town, but Brother Eyer was dead.
The choir missed him for a while, but he was soon forgot.
A few church-goers watched the door, but the old man entered not.
Far away his voice is sweet, and he sings his heart’s desires
Where there are no church committees and no fashionable choirs.
