This song is set to the tune Seventy-six Trombones from the Music Man by Meredith Wilson. If you aren't familiar with the tune you can watch and listen to it here. This tune snatch was inspired by an invitation in the mail from a local seeker-sensitive church. This song is a bit of an exaggeration.
Seventy-six plush chairs in the coffee bar
And one thousand and ten fresh donuts to eat
We're so eager to make you feel very comfortable, at home
So sit back, and please put up your feet.
We will amuse your kids in their Sunday school
We have licensed a franchise of Chuckie Cheese
The teens can go off and play Christian video games
So you have your worship time in peace
So come this Sunday and we're sure you'll have a blast
And for free, you'll receive a gift card for some gas
Well appointed rest rooms and an ATM
Circuit gym and Internet
Sermons that are guaranteed to not offend
We just love, we will not ever talk of sin
We will twist the Bible just to meet your every need
So why don't you come on next Sunday, pretty please?
Forty-one sofas on which you can recline
You can carry a conversation with ease
After service, go get your lunch at the food court down the hall
Play some bowling after, if you please
Come as you are, we don't care how you are dressed
Don't bother to bring your Bible at all
At eleven o'clock we start but it isn't on the dot
See you Sunday and you'll have a ball!

You should post ALL the songs you did for Lyrical Miracles on your new site! That way they will be grouped together in one place for easy reference. Suggestion: Do a series of five. Each one covering one of the five points of Calvinism.
example: (to the tune of "Born Free")
Born Free
Arminians think so
Calvinists say no...
(that's all I've got..but, you get the idea)
Thanks for stopping by. I like your song idea. I'll have to give it a try.
