Throw Away Your Hymnals!

Started Sunday mornin', in the usual way
Load the family in the car, let's go get entertained
Gonna head down to the churchyard, but it's nothing like a church

Ain't got no sanctuary
It's a multipurpose room
Not a stained glass piece in sight
We don't need no stinkin' pews
Do away with old traditions
Only new traditions will do
We're more enlightened than our parents
And all the church fathers, too!

Chorus:
  Throw away your hymnals
  We got projection screens
  Don't make me read the lessons
  Or think about what it means
  Cuz our worship leader
  Looks so good on TV
  This is how we do church now
  Woe, Church is a Media Venture

C'mon, get ready for some Gospel-free praise
We won't preach at you 'bout sin,
We just want abundant days
No liturgy to remember; we repeat ourselves in different ways
We're so focussed on our feelings, no matter what the Bible says!

(Chorus)

We need big numbers, numbers soaring so high
We tell the Spirit where to blow
Still through it all we'll find that
This ain't the Great Commission; it's just the way we want to be
The love of God takes us only so far; the rest is up to me, yeah! 

Oh, throw away your hymnals!
C'mon, throw doctrine aside...

(Chorus)
