S.P.I.R.I.T.U.A.L.

(To the tune of C.H.R.I.S.T.M.A.S.)

When I was a young preacher

Spiritual meant one thing

That I'd use King James English when I pray

But I learned much different

When my pastor sat me down

And taught me to spell "spiritual" this way:

S is for the SERMON, forty minutes long

P is for the PULPIT at the front

I's for ILLUSTRATION

R means RANDOM blessing (that's pot-luck)

I means I'm the PREACHER at the front

T is for the TITHE and missions offering

U is for the yoUTH asleep in back

A is for ANNOUNCEMENTS

L's our LOCAL church

And that's how you spell "spiritual"
