Pew Sitter--

I'd go to church Every Sunday Often find myself there On Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Friday oh! what am I but just a glorified Church goer; A modified, glorified, pew sitter; Oh! God, help me, Lord; I don't wanna be just a pew sitter; Praising you inside this church building; whom am I but just a forgiven sinner; I should be more than a pew sitter; When I leave a church I should be a soul winner; Not just a holy than tho! Christian just chilling; oh! what am I but just a glorified Church goer; A modified, glorified, pew sitter; Oh! God, help me, Lord; I don't wanna be just a pew sitter; I need to be the church, be uplifting; Be a witness, be forgiving; Feed the poor, help the elderly; Be the eyes, hands and feet of God; Be all I can be; oh! what am I but just a glorified Church goer; A modified, glorified, pew sitter; Oh! God, help me, Lord; I don't wanna be just a pew sitter;

Nicely done, Edward! A great reminder that no matter how wonderful a church service is, even uplifting in spirit, we still must carry the word and service out to the community! <3 Kim

Thanks, Kim, We should be the church not just go to one. Thanks for stopping by and all you do. James
