Lamb

Thank you all for your comments and contributions to my hymn project. It was a difficult task trying to fit in the various suggestions - some made it, some didn't. But as you'll see below, it was a...

(To the tune of-)
(There is not a tune in the world that this could be put to)

LAMB LAMB LAMB

Divine lamb, hit by a car
Heal soon, blessings surround you
Feel our compassion, eat some fair trade chocolate

Get well soon soon soon
Get well soon soon soon
Get well soon soon soon
God is strange, and mysterious, and might be a wo-man with righteous shoes-

We prayed at the church, it was happy clappy crappy
Made our insides shrivel, we felt quite sick
Questioned our faith, in church employment policy-

E-qual-i-ty -ty -ty
E-qual-i-ty -ty -ty
E-qual-i-ty -ty -ty
Even for tam-bour-i-nists-

There is deep deep foreboding, the lamb is unwell
Mountains of tension, broken suspension
Still no vet, God give us a sign-

A glint in his eye eye eye
Glint in his eye eye eye
Glint in his eye eye eye
Looks like woolly's gonna be okay-

The lamb has died, and the car's still damaged
Tears well up, we feel quite awful
Time ticks by, we must have lunch-

We can have lamb lamb lamb
We can have lamb lamb lamb
We can have lamb lamb lamb
And vegetables, Yorkshire puddings, and dessert - if we eat the other stuff first-
