Rock Concerts and Jesus
Larry Linville
The concert season is in full swing.
The big name idols are there to sing.
The tickets cost more than I can afford.
That’s one more thing to be ignored.
People come from points far away
to watch these people sing and play.
They’ll use plastic to cover the price
and go into debt and not think twice.
If Jesus appeared in a coliseum
I wonder how many would go to see him?
Would the same people crowd in there?
Or would they think that he’s too square.
This question we really shouldn’t pursue.
The real decision is - what would you do?
Would you stay at home because of the cost,
or go in search of those who are “lost.”
His method is not to stand and perform.
He wants to help us as we reform.
He wants us to remove all our tethers,
and bring his kind of love to others.

In all of my 60 years I have never been to a rock concert and do not every plan to go.
We did go to the Fox Theater in St. Louis one time to hear Peter Paul and Mary--that was great and brought back memories.
Also went to Columbia when Joan Biza was there
Now that is our cup of tea and when our 25 year old daughter's---her friends do not understand her liking for those singers
Oh, yes just one time I had to say that I had gone to one of good old Andy Williams Christmas Shows in Branson---that was over 12 years ago.
I'm a little ashamed
of my first thought
The Jesus tickets
How much they had brought
Just go to see Jesus
and all of his friends
No matter the cost
and stay to the end
