The Bishop of Penang
The flock at your doorstep
Give them peace of living
Though it is on church land
No use talking about charity
When right there you don't see
The fate of a church
Lies in the new recruits
And retaining the old faithfuls
You can't let them go
With sadness in their minds
Think about the beginning
When church was built
When folks came to be in
The religion to bridge
The church and its people
It is better to give than receive
See how the songs sing in happy melody
I guess the Bishop has forgotten
Singing Psalms the way of compassion
As a representative of a Church
The Bishop should visit his folks
Find out and hold dialogues
Maybe he has forgotten the basic rule
The flock of his church
Top down rules
It doesn't work in a church
It is through consultations
Where problems can find a home
