I Have Time For Church But No Time For You
I’m so busy with church… I don’t have much time…
But God forgives me…. So is this a crime?
I go each Sunday, and do “the church thing.”
I’m just too busy, to really do anything!
I’m there on time. I try not to be late.
I even give my ten percent
into the offering plate!
I bring my Bible, and wear a suit and tie.
I sing the worship songs, shout and cry.
Do you need any help or prayer?
Please wait in line….
I’m busy right now! And don’t have the time!
I’ll direct you to the pastor to make
an appointment…
Perhaps he’ll pray and give
you an anointment!
This is what I offer! And the best I can do!.
I just don’t have the time for people like you!
Maybe I’ll see you again. Maybe I won’t…
But giving my time for others? I simply don’t…
I’m trying to look good for my
“Sunday appearance.”
Anything less, would be a “new experience.”
I hope you’ll forgive me for saying “excuse me.”
Maybe I’ll find another time
for you to be with me….
