Tim’s preaching through the seven cities of Revelation. I wrote a song for the worship team, based on the CCR “Proud Mary” tune. We played it today as a special.
Really, really fun to play “Proud Mary” in church. As we played, I could see a few smiles, like, “Wow, this is cool. I can’t believe I’m hearing this.” Maybe they still think it’s a song about marijuana (Proud Mary is a paddle-wheeler.)
I managed to work in the name of each city. Which isn’t so easy when you’re talking about Pergamum, Thyatira, and Laodicea. Here it is.
Left to see the seven cities,
Seeing what that man, John, had to say,
Some of them were good, and some of them were bad,
Laodicea was just lukewarm.Sardis needs to wake-up,
Thyatira needs to hold on.
Readin’, readin’, readin’ Revelation.Met Jezebel in Thyatira,
Saw folks worship Balaam in Pergamum,
Endured persecution with the folks of Smyrna,
Those who overcome get the crown of life.Philadelphia, hold on,
Ephesus, find your first love.
Readin’, readin’, readin’ Revelation.
