Monsignor Pope Ping!
Thank you for posting this. I enjoyed reading it.
I haven’t heard that song for 60 years. We used to sing it at church camp when I was a Protestant. I haven’t heard it since. I had no idea of its mean when we sang it, but I probably never though much about the meaning of any of the songs we sang as teen agers. I remember my mother (who was not religious at all) being scandalized about one song we brought home from camp — “God’s on My Side” sung to the tune of “Rock of Ages”. We thought it was funny and sarcastic. She thought it was sacrilegious. She was probably right.
Thanks for posting.
is a campfire song too...
