ANTIQUITY

         I praise, surrounded by the things
         That mean so much to me
         I'm happy in antiquity
         As you can plainly see
         So when the patterns changing
         It is insulting me
         I'm sure God doesn't like
         What's going on.

         I'm wrapped up in the thing's of old
         They've always stood the test
         And for the sake of history
         I'm trying to do my best
         How dare they brush the cobwebs
         Off the things that I love best
         I'm adamant that things stay as they are.

         Where does God come into this
         Have I consulted Him?
         He's quite a busy God, you know
         I'm representing Him
         And if I ask Him what He wants
         The answer might be grim
         So I will carry on my blissful way.

         God is for the people
         Of every age and class
         Always moving, ever prompting
         Taking us to task
         Wanting to move forward
         He'll make the wineskin new
         There's no place for antiquity
         And that means me and you.
