Church's Bell Poem by Randy McClave

I hear the ringing of the church's bell
Sounding off from the old wooden steeple
Upon that sound my soul does swell
As I am summoned to it, like the other church going people.

It rings and rings as the ancient bell tolls
To remind me and all others that church is soon to start
So, I hurry with the other found and lost souls
While hoping someday to receive my own sacred heart.

The bell chimes to tell me that GOD is in the church
So, I must not be late by the chiming of the bell
For the salvation of my soul I do not want GOD to search
And I definitely do not want to end up going to hell.

Ding dong, ding dong such a wonderful spiritual sound
That resinates into my soul from deep inside
I believe that any lost soul could be saved and also found
As I am now looking for a permanent home to reside.

When Church is over and the Church's bell has been rung
Its sound will become a sweet music fading
I will remember the hymns and the songs that were sung
Then I will miss GOD's sweet promise and serenading.
