I'll Be Gone . . .

by slm - Libra

I'd love to go to church with you, but I can't come today
I have so much I have to do, I don't have time today
I have to get my yard mowed, I need to trim and edge
I need to plant my garden and fertilize my hedge

I'd love to go to church with you, but I can't find the time
I've got to go to work today, there are papers I must find
I went to church when I was small, I've heard it all before
I even went down front one time, so I don't go anymore

I'd love to go to church with you, but too much is on my mind
I'm really a good person and Sunday is my time to unwind
My kids would like to go with you, I'll pick them up at noon
I promise I will try real hard to come some day real soon

I wish you'd come to church with me, before it is too late
The life that you are living, will surely seal your fate
Please take the time to come with me, these excuses are a lie
It won't be long and I'll be gone, in a twinkling of an eye
