The Church Chronicles - Mission Temple Firework Stand!

Mission Temple Firework Stand!
Copyright ©  Billy Maddox
and Paul Wayne Thorn

I saw a black man with a Bible and a sparkler in his hand.
He was holding a tent revival and running a firework stand.
He said the end of the world is coming so you better get on your knees.
Today bottle rockets are two for one, but salvation's free!

He said I quit my job at a big church where the milk and money flowed
to sell cherry bombs for Jesus in a tent beside the road.
I ain't in it for the money, most cars pass on by,
but I pay the rent on New Years and the fourth of July.

He said fireworks are dangerous, they can blow up in your face,
so you better read the instructions, light the fuse and get away!
These things are made in China, so it's easy to see
how a man who worships Buddha ain't got no guarantee.

He said everything I'm selling is all going up in smoke.
This world is like an atom bomb, it's ready to explode.
When the trumpet sounds and The Lord comes back I promise you one thing;
I'll be a human bottle rocket and I'll go out with a bang!
I'll leave this,
Holy Ghost,
Big Bang Theory,
Pentecostal,
Fire and Brimstone,
Mission Temple Firework Stand!

Thanks, folks.

BTW, I created that new background all by myself.

If you'd like me to design a custom backdrop for you,

just send me $200 and choose up to three

of the seven available colours!

Shas

Thanks for posting this.To me, Paul Thorn is so, so good. His songs should be covered by more people. As a semi-Buddhist, I am not offended cuz that's one difference between Christianity and Buddhism - reincarnation vs salvation. Paul Thorn in concert, solo or w/ his band, is worth driving a distance to hear/see. Again, thanks for performing and posting this.
