    GROW MORE--AS THE NAZIRITES DID

    Nazirites--O can we be like them?
    Can we look like them today?
    They had really lo-o-ong hair
    In a unique, special way.
    Analyze! Let's give it attention.
    Let's ignore the apostle Paul.
    Can we all sport spir'tual mullets
    Before we end up bald?

    Nazirites--Their lifestyle was simple.
    Self-denial was their role.
    They would never visit the barber.
    Could we too have such a goal?
    Though accepting certain restrictions,
    They were hipper than hippies now.
    All, not just our Christian sisters,
    Should have the hair part down.

    Nazirites--They truly were different.
    Why, they had a crowning sign.
    Nowadays it's known as dandruff;
    Back then nobody would mind.
    So today, as God's fellow workers
    Dry and itchy our scalps we'll make.
    May Jehovah bless our efforts,
    Setting our scalps aflake.

    Nazirites--They set an example.
    Care they took with lengthiness.
    Truly hirsute, let us be like them;
    Their hair our God e'er did bless.
    Cut your costs and trust in Jehovah:
    Let your lovely locks remain.
    If we manage not to wig out,
    Deep-rooted joy we'll gain.

    At Bethel, this song was known as the Visiting Single Sister song:

    Bethelites,
    Oh can't I just have one?
    I want to marry one today...

    Englishman,

    Are you suggesting that the songbook should be polluted with elements of this commercialistic system of things under Satan's control???

    That would certainly be a hairy situation!
