There's no enjoyment of this life in them.
Its a straight and narrow purgatory
waiting here for the next life.
Life is a trial, all provided with love,
by the Lord to test one's faith.
Its love, love your brothers and sisters
without passion, comfort and befriend them,
with eyes full of blind love,
be meek and modest and remember
that if what you're doing feels good
it must be a sin.
Come together in church halls
and speak the language of the reborn
and raise your hands and voices up
asking for a sign but never allowing a doubt.
Be patient and accepting,
though its beyond all knowing,
for surely a Lord,
who would have you give up everything
in this life,
must have some reward for you
in the next, right?
