A church where everyone sits apart
May often lack a beating heart;
There may be a few who line the pews
Of varying shades of belief and views,
Who see themselves as being the church,
But none of them are in active search
To deepen their faith, much less begin
To sally forth and bring others in.
They want their church to always stay
Just as it is, for that is the way
They like it to be, with just a few
Always sitting just one to a pew.
If there’s no-one who will strive
To change the culture and keep it alive
Eventually as the years pass by
Attendance will fall and it may die.
