All Are Okay

The tune should be obvious.

1. Let us build a church, that's fuzzy, warm,
And cozy as a cocoon,
Decor and lighting, seating too....
Just like your living room!
Where the Soothing Song of Gather
Will supplant the Word of God
And complying with the Roman Missal,
Roman Missal, Roman Missal
Would be seen as quaint or odd.

2. Let us have a place, where we can sit,
In peace and just relax,
Where sermons never challenge us,
Or get down to brass tacks.
Where all behavior's welcome!
There's no call to change your life,
Because telling folks we need conversion,
Need conversion, need conversion,
Hurts our feelings, and leads to strife.

3. Let us have sweet talk, where "sayings hard"
Won't rankle or intrude.
Where sin is never spoken of,
Mere mention would be rude!
Where the only valued Virtue
Is the tolerance of Vice
If we're good or bad, it doesn't matter,
Doesn't matter, doesn't matter,
God won't care, long as we're "nice."

4.Let's remind ourselves, we're already saints,
So we never need to change.
Self control's just scrupulosity.
Continence? retro and strange.
Should you dare to preach repentance,
Or censoriously suggest
We amend our lives -- now THAT'S the only,
That's the only, that's the only
Urge that ever should be suppressed.
