When I survey the woundrous loss
Of income I face for going to sem,
I am so glad and think it's boss
I can train to be for lay min.

Lay ministry is so God sent,
I just want to shout Eureka,
Instead of traveling to Fort Wayne,
I get to go to Topeka

My friend is DELTO, so he'll be
A full-fledged minister to consult,
Cuz I am just lay ministry,
I realize I'm just a dolt

My DP thinks that I'm the wave
Of the future for the church,
Some pastors seem to rant and rave,
As if I leave them in some lurch

Though I find no Biblical proof
For the ministry that I seek,
I guess it is cuz I'm a goof,
At confirmation my knowledge peaked

Well, I guess, I'll boldy go
Forth and do what the Lord wills,
What that is I don't quite know,
But I hope I pick up some skills
