I went to a local church, Sat in a pew, like a perch, But I pondered, Gazing at folk a'yonder, Where are all the kids? Don't you know what Jesus did? How to bring them to a church, To sit and listen, on their perch, Maybe a Gospel in graphics, A hitech savvy for kids, To meet a forever friend, With a love that has no end, What is the future of the church? I ponder as I sit here on my perch.
