Wesley Quadrilateral from Holy Interruption by Jeff Lowery

Wesley Quadrilateral

Old john Wesley a methodical guy
An Anglican priest whose faith was revived
Studied the scriptures he knew there was more
And so to the Bible he added 3 that's 4
He came up with an idea that was really quite radical
Albert Outler called it, The Wesley Quadrilateral
Chorus

Quadrilateral 
Scripture, Tradition, Reason, Experience, Quadrilateral 

verse 2

Wesley knew that scripture was divinely inspired
The first authority of what has transpired
traditions passed down for generations to know
Strengthened over 2000 years or so
An unbroken chain that takes no sabbatical That's why we're still using 

Verse 3

Reason is important God gave us our minds
To work with the Holy Spirit - don't leave them behind
Personal experience seemed crazy to some
But then Wesley's heart was strangely warmed bum bum
God's work in our lives is really fantastical Now you know how to do it
