Spirit of Laughter??

Every time I see a video of an 'outpouring', I'm sooooooooo glad to be a Presbyterian.

I wrote a little song once called 'I'm a Presbyterian' (it's actually based on a real song called 'I'm a Pentecostal' that is wildly popular in the UPCI):

I've been known to get wild
I grew my hair way down,
Spoke in tongues almost every day,
While rolling on the ground.

I shouted and ran the aisles
And danced all around,
But being such an idiot
Is not as fun as it might sound.

I got tired of the lies and tired of the games,
Now I'm an ex-Pentecostal and that is why I say ...

I'm a Presbyterian,
So now I'm not ashamed!
You might think my church is boring,
But at least they're not insane!

And now I can wear jeans
And nobody says I'm trying to be a man,
And it's been sixteen years since I got
My hair caught in a fan.

Well, my church don't have 'revivals',
And they don't hug in greeting,
But one thing about Presbyterians--
They can really hold a meeting.

We've got spreadsheets for our budget,
We've got Calvin on the shelf,
And we'll never judge your salvation
By your hair length or your health.

We worship nice and quiet,
We never shout or dance,
And if you fall down on the floor,
We call for an ambulance.​

Well, there's more to it, but you get the idea ....

Thats awesome

Love this. I'm an Ex-Pentecostal and this is perfect. But, as a Presbyterian (FPC)...I gotta say, I don't think the jeans would go over big in my church.
