Fourteen thousand members and me
Watch the preacher up on the screen
I have never shaken his hand
My two-dimensional pastor man
Welcome to America
Doesn’t matter if I am here
In this crowd I could disappear
Pastor man is all that we need
Preaching via satellite feed
I can watch it all from my pew
Until the presentation is through
You will have to pardon me
But this cannot be all there is
I can’t imagine God would be
Happy about this
Smiling people up on the stage
Everyone prefers it that way
Smiling people out in the crowd
No questioning or doubting allowed
Welcome to America
Where everyone is pretty and clean
Where everything’s rehearsed and routine
You will have to pardon me
But this cannot be all there is
I can’t imagine God would be
Happy about this
What if Jesus disagrees
With how you measure your success
Would you find a way to still believe
He’s happy about this?
What if He’s not happy about this?
The Church is now the Body of Christ
And every part is equally prized
The eye can never say to the hand
“All we need is this preacher man”
Would you notice if I was gone?
How easy would it be to move on?
You will have to pardon me
But this cannot be all there is
I can’t imagine God would be
Happy about this
The crowds don’t necessarily
Mean that God is truly blessed
It’s dangerous to just believe
That He’s happy about this
