To Be Ruled By Elders
The church was to be ruled by elders
Not a pastor, don’t you see?
‘Twas always a better way
To avoid, you know, a monarchy.
You can see it throughout the scriptures,
But it seems people pay them no mind.
Rather make it all nice and easy
To whine at one, the many, all the time.
How often down through the ages
Did the people say, “Give us a king!”?
(It’s just regular decadent human kind o’ thing.)
But best to keep decentralized and Biblical:
The center being only God’s Word.
Keeping us from all kinds o’ heresy
And other things just as absurd.
But, somehow we want responsibility
Narrowed down to just one man,
So we can rail and whine at one person
Not a committee or a deacon board.
