CHURCH, by                    
First Line: My church is one
Last Line: To corner the devil.
Subject(s): Worship


My church is one
With a big broad creed;
Where you are left alone --
Judged by your deed.

Where a Ladies' Aid
Doesn't exist
And differences are settled
By blows of a fist.

We worship at a shrine
In the great open air;
Shooting ducks on Sunday --
Golf, when it's fair.

The church -- it is round
And built on the level
So it's an impossible task
To corner the Devil.
