The pastor makes an alter call,
Silence and a drum roll,
The a man strolls to the front,
Slowly like he doesn't want,
A closer look at his face,
I have seen him at another place,
It was a queue somewhere,
I really wonder where......

It was at the line,
At the VCT line,
He was very restless,
Looked like he had a weakness,
I hope everything is fine,
He grabs the priest's wine,
Downs it all in a swipe,
Tears roll, no wipe......

He says he has a confession,
He asks for permission,
To explain in perversion,
He is ready for submission,
Everyone becomes alert,
We can hear the beats of his heart,
He produces a list,
Every person he names faints....

Finally he also collapses,
He is dead,
Where he stood as a newly wed,
Now the time lapses,
Nobody moves,
Silence reigns,
Yet another sad ending,
In a church setting......

We need grace,
Sufficient grace
Somebody say Amen!!!
