Sorry, moms …

Christian Century,  June 14, 2005  

A church choir--which shall remain anonymous to protect the innocent--sang these words on Mother's Day to the tune of "America the Beautiful":

   Oh beautiful for loving care,
   For sacrificing deeds,
   For self-forgetfulness so rare,
   That tends to all our needs.

   O Motherhood, O Motherhood,
   God shed his grace on thee,
   And crown thy good, O Motherhood,
   From sea to shining sea.

Don't ask for the words set to the tune of "My Country 'tis of Thee."
