THE POETRY OF SHARON CHURCH   (by members, circa mid-1960's)

"CONCERNING THOSE EMPTY FRONT PEWS"

If you went to a play or a sports event

You would want the best seat you could buy,

And you wouldn't complain at three dollars, apiece,

Not thinking the price too high.

But you'll walk into church, where the seats are free

And sit in the very last pew--

While those "Three Dollar Seats" in the front of the

    church,

With their emptiness, beckon to you---

Why not stand up for Jesus,

Get up on your feet,

And walk down front----

To your Three Dollar Seat!!!
