PARODY: LCMS the Beautiful

With the 2016 LCMS Synod Convention coming up next month, I needed to relieve some tension I feel over being a delegate. With all the reading if overtures and resolutions, biographies, and mail from lobbyists, it's really a lot to handle. And complaining about those things takes even more energy. Snark takes effort! Anyway, I vent in rhyme and verse, and I'm pretty sure this one is a doozy destined to go down in infamy! Here's the result: a parody to the tune of "America the Beautiful." Enjoy! Walther did. See that smile! *wink*



LCMS the Beautiful

O beautiful bureaucracy
O'er endless by-laws made 
For district presidents to be
The popes of lesser grade. 
L-C-M-S!
L-C-M-S!
The by-laws reign supreme!
Let's vote to chunk 
That Bible junk
And live the sinner's dream!

O beautiful for heresy
That long goes unaddressed;
For pastors who are cursed to be
Inactives long oppressed. 
L-C-M-S!
L-C-M-S!
Our DP's hands are clean. 
Let's vote to flush 
That doctrine mush
And drop AC 14. 

O beautiful, we tossed the cross
For syncretistic prayer
We prayed when facing tragic loss
To show the world we care. 
L-C-M-S!
L-C-M-S!
Let's show our charity!
Let's go and scrap
That Concord crap
To Satan's lasting glee. 

O beautiful! O God, please send
The Spirit. Make us wise
To keep your Word unto the end
Before our voting eyes. 
L-C-M-S!
L-C-M-S!
Have mercy, Lord, we pray,
And keep us straight 
As we debate
These six exhausting days.
