i was visiting a church with my friend and in the front they had a banner that read, "If Everybody in the Church was Like Me, How Would the Church Be?" and it made me think about some things: about the faithful old lady in the church that loves everybody, about my friends that i met when i joined the church, but most importantly it made me think about all the hypocrites in the church, the people who give you those evil looks because you haven't been to church in a while, as if them going every sunday puts them a little closer to heaven than you, when in fact, they become totally different people when they are out on the streets. so this one is for all those fake people in the church- god bless you, no pun intended!

Made Up My Mind

1st Verse:
Lord they really think they fooling you
by coming to church on Sunday
praying and laying hands on folks
stomping and jumping around faking the holy ghost
but its a thin line between walking it and talking it
living it and giving it or just pretending it’s alright
and did they really think that they could pull the wool over your eyes lord
did they really think that by faking they were saved
that they would get the same reward
this be the realest thing I ever wrote for sure
after this a lot of folks wont like me no mo’
but after this I gotta go answer to you Lord
so I’ve made up my mind I’m a go to church on Sunday
and sing a song that may hurt somebody’s feelings so that maybe
thy will, will be done
on earth as it is in heaven
and hopefully they will see
how much they really be discouraging a little old sinner like me

2nd Verse:
And Lord who they think they jiving
by singing these songs full of glory
then out in the world it’s a different story
I’m running out of people to pray for me
I’m not trying to act like I’m the perfect man
but if you speak about it, you should be about it
not just preach about it all day
cause if you do you run the risk of chasing
some of the most beautiful people away
and it is never my intention to discourage you
rather encourage you to change your life today
this be the realest thing I ever had to say,
but after this a lot of folks wont like me no mo’
but after this I gotta go answer to you Lord
so I’ve made up my mind I’m a go to church on Sunday
and sing a song that may hurt somebody’s feelings
so that maybe thy will, will be done
on earth as it is in heaven
and hopefully they will see
how much they really be discouraging a little old sinner like me
