I didn't go to church today
But still I stopped to meditate
and pray
That God would bless me on
my way
For I still had a servants job
today

I didn't go to church today
But on his words I meditate
and pray
That his precepts will guide me
all the way
Cause I am dealing with "Black
folks " today.

I got my self in a leadership position
When actually I just wanted to serve
Other's laughed cause they knew my
dillema. But they would rather take
a pass.
I am not a lazy person, always making
myself available.
Not just sitting on my ***.

But, as my mother often tells me look
to him who gives and not to man.
Today I finally understand.
Over 100 members strong.
I struggle with my organization
all month long.
Meetings, deadlines, dinners and
fundraisers.
It's more like pulling teeth.
But, if God wanted someone who
gave up easily.
He wouldn't have sent me.

I didn't go to church today
But all this day I know I will pray
Lord, let them be on time.
Lord, don't let them stress my mind.
Lord, let them do what they said.
And Lord when it's over just let me
get to my bed.
I take my responsibilities serious
I guess that's why yesterday I was
somewhat furious
That the membership had so many
excuses
And some of them were guilty of
serious abuses.

I didn't go to church today.
But I didn't forget to give.
And I didn't forget to pray.

but GURL do I understand...
too many that do go to church go for all the wrong reasons...
many are quick to forget HE came for the sinners NOT the saints...and church is just a hospital for the hurting...:)
