27. Our congregation sings some different songs

One of them is Bret Hesla's "A Dazzling Bouquet":

Mine is the church where everybody's welcome
I know it's true 'cause I got through the door
We are a dazzling bouquet of every kind of flower
Jump in the vase, 'cause we got space for more!

Come on, all you six-foot gladiolas
Come all you purple lilacs shining bright
Come, let us all bloom together in the garden
A carnival of fragrance and delight.

Mine is the church . . .

We don't simply tolerate each other
We ask and tell, we don't just turn away
We give attention to every bud and blossom
Let every face come grace the grand bouquet

Mine is the church . . .


We don't quite give it the zydeco treatment it deserves, but we make up for it in gusto.
