I found this posted by Lucy on the emerging church discussion board; you really should go there if you have not yet had a chance.

Sometimes this sums up how I feel; but since hearing the archbishop and my church leaders sermon in response to it on Sunday morning I have big hopes that these days are slowly disappering. Lets hope so!

I Want To Be A Clone

I’d gone through so much other stuff

That walking down the aisle was tough

But now I know it’s not enough

I want to be a clone

I asked the Lord into my heart

They said that was the way to start

But now you’ve got to play the part

I want to be a clone

CHORUS

Be a clone and kiss conviction goodnight

Cloneliness is next to Godliness, right?

I’m grateful that they show the way

‘Cause I could never know the way

To serve him on my own

I want to be a clone

They told me that I’d fall away

Unless I followed what they say

Who needs the Bible anyway?

I want to be a clone

Their language it was new to me

But Christianese got through to me

Now I can speak it fluently

I want to be a clone

(CHORUS)

Send in the clones

Ah, I kind of wanted to tell my friends and people about it, you know

What?

You’re still a babe

You have to grow

Give it twenty years or so

‘Cause if you want to be one of his

Got to act like one of us

(CHORUS)

So now I see the whole design

My church is an assembly line

The parts are there

I’m feeling fine

I want to be a clone

I’ve learned enough to stay afloat

But not so much I rock the boat

I’m glad they shoved it down my throat

I want to be a clone

Everybody must get cloned
