Houses of the whole wheat


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
