“Create in me a clean heart Renew a right spirit within me”
The preacher prayed arms outstretched to the man above the skies. “Come just as you are!!!!”
He bellows to the crowd.
Weary and hungry for a taste of salvation, they walk one behind the other to the altar.
Along the pathway they all sing; amazing grace how sweet the sound.
“Pastor Smells like rotting fish!” whispers sister Mary Sue
“He has a date with Sister Catherine tonight!”
Amazing grace how sweet the sound… “The offering went into making another floor on his house!”
“He drives the latest model of the GM line!
He pimping more than Jay Zee!!!” Amazing grace how sweet the sound…
“He smacked my sister on the ass last Sunday, and then told me I looked good enough to eat!!”
Amazing grace how sweet the sound…
“Thou shall not kill!!! … …
Thou shall not commit adultery... …
Thou shall not bear false witness… …
Thou shall not covet thy neighbor’s wife!!!!!!” shouts the pastor from the pulpit.
“Pastor seeing Mr. Mackey’s wife every Saturday.
I know because I see them through my window every Friday!!”
“Pastor send him wife to foreign land with three bags of white powder!!
Heard it on the news last Tuesday”
Amazing grace how sweet the sound

“Come just as you are” shouts the pastor to the crowd as he stares at the faces of the people.
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me
