As a kid, I wasn’t a Baptist (still not), but I used to wonder why verses other than the 1st, 2nd and last were in the songs since no one (that I could tell) ever sang them.
I read a poorly written book about the Dolphins’ undefeated season. Learned a lot, just bugged me about the writing. Anyway, it was while reading that that I thought of this.
I learned this fact while researching wombats for a book I was writing that everyone who has read loves and still quotes passages back to me but, sadly, you will probably never see.
