We Sing...

We sing "Come, Now Is the Time to Worship," as long as that time ends at 12:00 sharp.
We sing "We Bow Down," but we don't.
We sing "Come, Christians, Join to Sing," but many simply refuse to do so.
We sing "I Could Sing of Your Love Forever," but we're tired of it after three minutes.
We sing "Here I Am to Worship," but we showed up late and sleepy.
We sing "Shout to the Lord," but we don't.
We sing "O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing," but we rarely use the one that we have.
We sing "You Are My All in All," as long as it's Sunday morning.
We sing "Go, Tell It on the Mountain," but we won't go across the street.
We sing "How Great Our Joy," but we forget to let our faces know.
We sing "Tell Me the Story of Jesus," but hope the preacher doesn't take too long doing it.
We sing "Standing on the Promises," but we're really just sitting on the premisis.
We sing "I Know Whom I Have Believed," just don't ask us about Him.
We sing "I Am Resolved," but we change our minds again.
We sing "Sweet Hour of Prayer," but we barely pray for a few minutes.
We sing "I Surrender All," but we don't mean it.
We sing "I Have Decided to Follow Jesus," as long as we get to lead.
We sing "Wherever He Leads I'll Go," as long as it's comfortable.
We sing "We'll Work Till Jesus Comes," but don't ask us to do anything.
We sing "Take Time to Be Holy," but we don't make it back to the evening service.
We sing "Find Us Faithful," but really people will find us faltering.
We sing "Shall We Gather at the River," but we struggle with gathering together on Sunday.
We sing "God Give Us Christian Homes," as long as it's an American version of Christianity.

What is wrong with us?
