The Church of Jazz

Listening to jazz on a Sunday morning. 

A truly religious experience.

The parishioners, Gypsy and Sadie

Sit in their pews, eyes closed in rapture.

We are all connected by this spiritual vibe.

Music hits the souls of all creatures.

Male and female, two-legged and four-legged.

Music is the great unifier.

I'll follow Miles Davis and John Coltrane.

Politicians have no souls,

No matter what their party.

Preach on Brothers Miles and Coltrane!

Your music gives us hope and solace.

God speaks through you.

I don't have to dress up to go to the Church of Jazz

The Church of Jazz doesn't tell me I'm a sinner.

The Church of Jazz doesn't ask for money in the collection plate.

The Church of Jazz just wails on in an exultant tone.

The Church of Jazz gives love and peace.

And asks for nothing in return.

I am pleased to worship at the Church of Jazz.

One and all should heed the call.

Sinners, saints, winners, losers.

The good, the bad, the weak, the strong. 

The Church of Jazz don't judge.

In the Church of Jazz we all belong.
