Amen pew

Reflections on the amen pew

I’ve been in churches
Silent and grave
I’ve been in places
Where flags boldly wave

In every church
No matter how stiff
There is a contingent
That brings a lift

Pastors chearleaders
And evangelists dream
Encourage fervent prayer
You know who I mean

I trust in Jesus
and nod my assent
I pray for revival
And men to repent

But often I wonder
When I see the place
Churches Amen Pews
Bring a smile to my face

If Godly in fervor
We do rejoice
Yet what is the spirit
This thunderous voice
