Come and dine
Come and dine
The Master calleth
Come and dine
We be like
You got any quail?
Just manna
The Master says
Just manna
No thanks we say
We’ll try the diner
Down on Broadway
Did you hear?
The Baptists are serving burgers
and the Methodists
are making
meatloaf
The Presbyterians
are cooking
pork chops
and the
non denom’s
have the best coffee
the Nazarenes
it seems
Have doughnuts down
And the Church of God
great sirloins
don’t even have to join
What’s a seeker of food to do?
We are of the nature
To always want to be fed
Not to serve
Not to just dwell
If your only reason for
Fellowship is feeding
You may as well stay home
And eat from the frig
I think fellowship
Should not be coming
To take from the pastor
Your milk
But to simply dwell in
The Presence
With your fellow
Believers
In common worship
Whether or not the sermon
Feeds you
Is secondary
You should eat at home anyhow
In your own private
Prayer and devotion
In reading scripture
Song and psalm
Not come expecting
To be fed
Fed
Fed
