TEN THOUSAND INSTANT CHRISTIANS Feb 19, '09 1:43 AM for everyone Max Boyce is a great Welsh Comedian and Singer.
I haven't been able to find a 'youtube' for this song of his, which comments on the Disappearing Christians who once used to go to chapel to sing, but now are more likely to be found at a Rugby Match on the Sabbath.
Well at least we have the words:
When He sees the Hope and Anchor Where we sang before the game Where 'Cwm Rhondda' and 'Delilah' First sounded both the same The bar was filled with singing Hymns came on a tray Saturday was Sunday I wonder what He'll say
What will He say? What will He say? I wonder, I wonder what He'll say?
When He sees the North Enclosure With it's belly full of ale And sees that male voice flagon Sing to the twisted barrier rail 'Cwm Rhondda' and 'Penmachno' Hymns of yesterday Only half remembered I wonder what He'll say
What will He say? What will He say? I wonder, I wonder what He'll say?
When He sees that touch-line tenor With his copy made of sand Ten Thousand Instant Christians And the Glynneath Silver Band 'C'mon man, ref, for Ch***'s sake That ball was still in play' Ten Thousand Instant Christians I wonder what He'll say
What will He say? What will He say? I wonder, I wonder what He'll say?
When He sees that empty chapel With it's locked and shuttered door And sees that dusty Bible Cobweb covered floor The numbers slowly dwindling Much fewer now each day Calfaria now a bingo hall I wonder what He'll say
What will He say? What will He say? I wonder, I wonder what He'll say?
