Waiting On the Lord With Them

I've honored funeral mongers
for the chance to say their prayers.
And knelt in all their churches
for the lord to see who cares.

And taken what I've learned from them
to make a life more kind.
While learning what I can from them
to make a fate they'll find.

That doing what I can for them
would only takes my time.
That waiting for the lord with them
would surely be a crime.
