****have You Heard This Song Before?***

[RandyWayne]

I think this one is more appropriate:

As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain
I take a look at my wife and realize she's very plain
But that's just perfect for an Amish like me
You know, I shun fancy things like electricity
At 4:30 in the morning I'm milkin' cows
Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows... fool
And I've been milkin' and plowin' so long that
Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone
I'm a man of the land, I'm into discipline
Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin
But if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine
Then tonight we're gonna party like it's 1699

We been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise
I've churned butter once or twice
Living in an Amish paradise
It's hard work and sacrifice
Living in an Amish paradise
We sell quilts at discount price
Living in an Amish paradise

A local boy kicked me in the butt last week
I just smiled at him and turned the other cheek
I really don't care, in fact I wish him well
'Cause I'll be laughing my head off when he's burning in hell
But I ain't never punched a tourist even if he deserved it
An Amish with a 'tude? You know that's unheard of
I never wear buttons but I got a cool hat
And my homies all I agree I look good in black... fool
If you come to visit, you'll be bored to tears
We haven't even paid the phone bill in 300 years
But we ain't really quaint, so please don't point and stare
We're just technologically impaired

There's no phone, no lights, no motorcar
Not a single luxury
Like Robinson Caruso
It's as primitave as can be

We been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise
We're just plain and simple guys
Living in an Amish paradise
There's no time for sin and vice
Living in an Amish paradise
We don't fight, we all play nice
Living in an Amish paradise

Hitchin' up the buggy, churnin' lots of butter
Raised a barn on Monday, soon I'll raise another
Think you're really rightous? Think you're pure in heart?
Well, I know I'm a million times as humble as thou art
I'm the pious guy the little Amlettes wanna be like
On my knees day and night scorin' points for the afterlife
So don't be vain and don't be whiny
Or else, my brother, I might just have to get medieval on your heinie

We been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise
We're all crazy Mennonites
Living in an Amish paradise
There's no cops or traffic lights
Living in an Amish paradise
But you'd probably think it bites
Living in an Amish paradise

So i suggest you change your story....quickly.

Is that so? Well, I'd sure like to know what the world you're talking about, because first of all I've never lived in Tampa. Second of all, the things you say are so incoherent that they don't even warrant a response. Thirdly, I've never heard of you in my entire life. I don't know who you are or what you think you may "know" about me, obviously it's nothing but lies, because as I stated I've never lived in Tampa, Florida. Matter of fact All my years growing up in Orlando, I had been to Tampa ONE time in my life prior to the General Conference. Remember that libel is against the law.

?

Yes, I'm talking to you. I realize that you yourself are probably not caught up in the "doomsday fads" - and that is that thing that we probably agree on.

He Is Lord


He is Lord, He is Lord.
He has risen from the dead
And He is Lord.
Every knee shall bow,
Every tongue confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord.

I LIKE THE ONE ABOVE FOR A WORSHIP SONG. ....It's giving honor to Jesus Christ!!!

Hi Caston. I don't know what NYLP is getting at, but it could be that he's jesting with you because of the way you slandered that church in Pensacola, FL.

And, BTW, while "libel is against the law..." most private citizens posting on Internet forums don't qualify for protection. That is why, for example, you are free to slander a church and not fear any legal entanglements over it. However, justice does have a way of being meted out if we're all patient enough to wait for it.

Yep, just looked up the release date. It was yet that year the last time I heard this. And yet..I recognized it within the first two lines..and now the stupid song is stuck in my head.

Hey the "don't bob your hair song" is no more spiritual than this one.

You are right an "Amish Paradise" doesn't work. There is no Utopia = No Place.
