I was waiting for my son this afternoon and popped in a tune by Steven Taylor.
It is a freaky song and I really like the lyrics – so much so that I am gonna let you read what I’m talking about.
I WANT TO BE A CLONE – by Steven Taylor
I’d gone through so much other stuff
That walking down the aisle was tough
But now I know it’s not enough,
I want to be a clone
I asked, the Lord into my heart,
they said that was the way to start
But now you’ve got to play the part,
I want to be a clone
Be a clone and kiss conviction, goodnight
Cloneliness is next to Godliness, right
I’m grateful that they show the way ’cause I could never know
The way to serve Him on my own,
I want to be a clone
They told me that I’d fall away unless I followed what they say
Who needs the Bible anyway,
I want to be a clone
Their language, it was new to me
but Christianese got through to me
Now, I can speak it fluently,
I want to be a clone
Be a clone and kiss conviction, goodnight
Cloneliness is next to Godliness, right
I’m grateful that they show the way ’cause I could never know
The way to serve Him on my own,
I want to be a clone
Send in the clones,
I kind of wanted to tell my friends And people about it, you know,
what You’re still a baby, you have to grow, give it twenty years or so
‘Cause if you want to be one of his you gotta act like one of us
Be a clone and kiss conviction, goodnight
Cloneliness is next to Godliness, right
I’m grateful that they show the way ’cause I could never know
The way to serve Him on my own, I want to be a clone
So now I see the whole design,
my church is an assembly line
The parts are there, I’m feeling fine,
I want to be a clone I’ve learned enough to stay afloat
but not so much, I rock the boat
I’m glad they shoved it down my throat,
I want to be a clone
Everybody must get cloned
Thanks again for coming to visit. I hope you found something of interest in this post and would appreciate a comment, to begin a discussion.
Hiya I don’t like the idea of cloning .. and we are free to ask Christ in our life at all times. God bless you

Thanks for the comment. I too do not like the cloning technology, but found the lyrics to be quite typical of our desire to disciple young converts into our own image instead of His image.
