What was Passed Down?


NOTE: The United Methodist Church is a merge of two churches (The Evangelical United Brethren + The Methodist Church). Thus, may the image above and the message below not mislead people into thinking that the UMC as a pure Wesleyan heritage.

To our beloved UMC elders
We appreciate your concern
In your desire, through us UMYFers
To keep United Methodism preserved

And we recognize your tireless efforts
C.I., LIFCA, and countless lectures
From newbie elders to expert preachers
Brining life to our founder's picture

In your attempt in giving us leverage
To ground our feet and keep it set
I'm seeing sings that the Wesleyan heritage
Is slowly, surely, facing death

You may claim, but I have doubt
That you have the legacy of Wesley
For your failure to pass down
Even the UMYF medley

Why do you get disappointed
When none respond to the Altar Call
Expecting proteges from an audience
You seem to have not mentored at all?

You may say, "Well, that's the stem."
Then how do we know you're sharing our roots?
The men before you held much gems
I somehow envy your days of youth

Strengthen our faith that the Methodist tradition
Has maintained a biblical Christ-like imitation
Because if we stay in this confused situation
We're likely to raise a poisoned generation

.... or maybe the damage has come to fruition
