Easy Like a Sunday Morning

He sat down in the pew just before the start of mass
A dangling chain or two such judgment one may pass 
Thinking he didn't fit in,  I started praying for his soul
Every one of us in sin such judgment I should not dole

So there he had stayed, sitting, standing and kneeling
All along I had prayed that he would receive a healing
For at least he was trying with the desire to be there
As there is no denying many people still truly do care

As he left during communion like a bull out of a shut 
Hopefully he's not done, perhaps he might even root
But that's in Gods Hands only He can change a heart
One certainly understands, everything needs a start

Perhaps he'll be in that pew with Jesus looking down
Or maybe someone new, so coming to see His Crown
I will only simply say that whoever is sitting there
For them we will pray, everywhere else that is rare

Matthew 11:28 
Come unto me, all [ye] that labour 
and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
