EMPTY CHAIRS AT CHURCH

SHEPHERD TO SHEEP

EMPTY CHAIRS AT CHURCH

(Heb 10:25) not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

As we gather to worship our King

Around the room is a curious thing

Not only do we see who’s there

But scattered about is that empty chair 

What causes a seat be lone?

Is someone sick or depressed at home?

Did they stay up late or are sleeping in?

Are they losing their fire because of some sin? 

Now Bobby’s got a decent reason

He’s on vacation, it’s hunting season

And Joe, he’s on a business trip

It’s just a week, that’s why he skipped 

The Jones’ we haven’t seen in awhile

He got that raise, they’re up in style

And the Williams, if I heard it right

Have soccer so their time is tight 

Max and Sarah aren’t getting along

How can they sit and sing a song?

Jose and Mary they’re all tied up

Working on their house and stuff 

A game’s on TV, a political debate

I’m pressed for time, I don’t want to be late

A garden to plant, and bills to pay

Maybe we’ll go some other day

Lord, I can see that empty chair

Fill them up so all can be here

Revival, Lord, is what we need

Hear our prayer in all due speed
