Hymnal Suppliment Number 1001

(What you may not know is that there is some dissagreement whether hymns like the following should be allowed in the Church. That's why it is in the Supplement)

Hymn 1001

I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
A shadow of a man
A face through a window
Crying in the night
The night goes into

Morning, just another day
Happy people pass my way
Looking in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
you made me so happy, oh Jesus

Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Jesus
well you held me and stopped me from shaking
I need you today, oh Jesus

I'm standing on the edge of time
I Walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
The tears are in my mind
And nothing is rhyming, oh Jesus

Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Jesus
well you held me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Jesus

Yesterday's a dream I face the morning
Crying on the breeze
the pain is calling, oh Jesus

Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Jesus
well you held me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Jesus

(Yes, this is just Barry Manilow's "Mandy" where Mandy=>Jesus and "kissed"=>"held". And sadly, it's probably got more theological depth than what your praise band put together for tomorrow)
