Just as you are

Yes, we can come now to worship

Just as we are - now is the time

Going into a church open midweek

Some words of this song came to mind

It matters not what we look like outwardly

Though we dress smartly and neatly, at least reasonably so

To worship in God's presence

But need not be too formal, too stiff and starchy

And need not be loads of....

 'Do this, do that, don't sit in my pew!'

Or a load of 'rubbish' with some rituals

I saw someone crossing themselves so many times

Even before the service started

That I thought 'You'll be worn out before we've started!'

Caught up in religiosity

If doing 'actions' to promote our own goodness

It won't make the slightest bit of difference

As salvation is only in Christ

Old or new style, traditional or modern

Hymns, Choruses, whatever

We can 'take our pick' really

Sort of spoilt for choice in some towns
