12/16/2003 Entry: "Lily the Pink"

Sometimes, the bizarre way my mind works (if you can call it that) disturbs even me. Working on a sermon, pondering the meaning of the phrase "Saviour of the World", what should pop into my head but the words of the 1968 (I think) hit "Lily the Pink" by The Scaffold. Such thoughts have to be got rid of, and this is the only place I know of. And its a great song. Sing it with me...
