1. On some blasphemous art, stood a cross swizzle stick
The emblem of WELS Church and Change.
For it once was a cross, so we focused on Christ,
But now prospects just stir in their cream.
Refrain:
So they'll cherish their cross swizzle stick
Till their funding at last they lay down;
They will cherish the cool swizzle stick
But alas, they will not see a crown.
2. Schwaermers love sentiment, so they twisted the cross.
Relational, real, relevant.
But they love their old selves, and they never will change,
So they favor a pop rock event.
Refrain:
So they'll cherish their cross swizzle stick
Till their funding at last they lay down;
They will cherish the cool swizzle stick
But alas, they will not see a crown.
3. O the old Lutheran church, so despised by Reformed,
has a wondrous attraction for me;
for the clear Means of Grace give the Gospel to me
as Our Lord said it always would be.
Refrain:
But they'll cherish their cross swizzle stick
Till their funding at last they lay down;
They will cherish the cool swizzle stick
But alas, they will not see a crown.
