my first reaction was “Baloney!”

you must be wrong, this can’t be true

a blessing to the Church! Me?

though I trust you

I doubt it!

why?

because

most Sundays I have no strength to sing

most Sundays discordance overwhelms me

most Sundays I am at odds with the words

most Sundays rebellion has the upper hand

most Sundays I see little worthy of praise

most Sundays my voice is still and silent

most Sundays I would be anywhere else

and yet you say I’m a blessing

I’d like to know what you see

because I don’t see anything
