A Quote

Empty churches and well-filled jails, Empty churches and mankind fails;
Empty churches and liquor flows, Empty churches and evil grows;
Empty churches and sin’s in style, Empty churches and youth goes wild;
Empty churches and wasted lives, Empty churchesand Satan thrives.

Empty churches and prayerless hearts, Empty churches and Christ departs;
Empty churches and homes are sad, Empty churches and men go mad;
Empty churches, no Pentecost. Empty churches and souls are lost;
Empty churches and drunkards die, Empty churches and orphans cry.

Empty churches and revival cease, Empty churches and crimes increase;
Empty churches and gamblers meet, Empty churches and wrongs defeat;
Empty churches and war clouds roll, Empty churches and no control;
Empty churches, forsaken pews, Empty churches and bad, bad news.

Empty churches and nations blight, Empty churches, O sad, sad sight!
Empty churches, men hate and kill, Empty churches and much ill will;
Empty churches, O sad the truth, Empty churches defeated youth.
Empty churches, it’s bad to tell, Empty churches, men go to hell.

(W.E. Isenhour)
