Hallelujah! and Amen! for the sisters and the brothers
Packing heat in church so they can do it unto others
The message in this land of well-regulated militia
Is when the shooting starts hit your knees and pray they miss ya.
For example, take events at a church in Arkansas
Where the faithful carry concealed (The governor signed a law)
As the soloist was praising the Father and the Son
Old Harvey with the hearing aid thought someone hollered "Gun!"
Harve pulled his equalizer and drilled one through the clock
The preacher yelled "God save us all!" and grabbed his trusty Glock
An usher was mistaken for a sanctuary invader
By a deacon who dropped him with one round from his persuader
As the organist bent over, she caught one in the cheek
"Be careful!" screamed the preacher's wife. "That organ's an antique!"
Crazy Larry jumped up firing and three rows hit the deck
"Don't worry," yelled his mother. "He passed the background check!"
Ricochets were whistling, stained windows were exploding
The choir worked in harmony: Six firing, six reloading
"They know not what they do!" exclaimed shy Sister Carol
As she sprayed the room with ammo from her dad's old double barrel
Ambulances were summoned, order was restored
Survivors sent up heartfelt prayers of thanks unto the Lord
Despite collateral damage, pride buoyed the congregation
Having exercised the rights bestowed by the founders of the nation
