Poem: The Church

The Church

by Russell Kelfer

(There is no audio for this poem.)

The church, its wealth and numbers,
Have grown beyond degree.
Within its framework thousands toil,
And millions look to see –

And looking, searching, as it were,
What will those millions see?
A vast array of doctrines rare,
And programs endlessly;

New systems, methods, means and cures,
Finds man within his search –
And somewhat dazed, he looks about –
But only sees – the church.

Oh, God, that men might look at us,
And through Thy Spirit see,
Not a maze of church-filled streets –
But men – filled full of Thee!
