THE ABANDONED CHURCH

THE ABANDONED CHURCH

Upon a hill, a lonely hill an abandoned church house

stands, This proud old church in years gone by was

built by willing hands.

With timber strong and steeple tall, a wood stove

warmed the few that sang by oil lamps on the wall

to cast light on wooden pews.

As years went by a furnace new and electricity

replaced the stove and oil lamps. Much better

“ all agreed”

As time went by this simple church served the

faithful few, until a modern church was built

with softly padded pews.

As years go by and folks pass on to rest upon

the hill, our proud old church with steeple tall

will still stand abandoned on the hill

Rev. Marie Yvonne.
