Adapted from a poem by John Knapp II (permission to use obtained)

Oh me ah, oh my ah, oh me ah, oh my ah,

There once was a lampstand in old Thyatira

The church in that city was not very good

Yet, the church in that city was not very bad

They were patient and loving and full of good works

Yet, sadly they held on to one fatal quirk

They still worshipped idols they would not resist

And as a result, God’s blessing they missed

These sometimes disciples were not very smart

They only loved Jesus with part of their heart

Oh my ah, oh me ah, oh my ah, oh me ah

There once was a lampstand in Laodicea

The church in that city was not very bad

Yet, the church in that city was not very good

The christians in Lao were just in-between

No longer dirty, yet not fully clean

They only were average, in a rut they were stuck

So when Jesus took one look, He simply said YUCK!

These lukewarm believers were not very smart

They only loved Jesus with part of their heart

So, listen my children and you will be smart

Be sure to love Jesus with all of your heart
