Lord, they really think they foolin' you By comin' to church on SundayPrayin' and layin' hands on folks Stompin' and jumpin' around, fakin' the Holy Ghost But it's a thin line between walkin' it and talkin' it And livin' it and givin' it or just pretendin' it's alright And did they really think that they could Pull the wool over your eyes? Lord, did they really think that by fakin' they were saved That they would get the same reward? This be the realest thing I ever wrote for sure And after this a lot of folks won't like me no more But after this I gotta go answer to you, LordSo I've made up my mind, I'ma go to church on SundayAnd sing a song that may hurt somebody's feelings So that maybe thy will, will be done On Earth as it is in Heaven and I hopefully they will see How much they really be discouragin' a little old sinner like me And Lord who they think they jivin' By singin' these songs full of glory? Then out in the world it's a different story I'm runnin' out of people to pray for me And I'm not tryin' to act like I'm the perfect man But if you speak about it, you should be about it Not just preach about it all day, 'cause if you do you run the risk Of chasin' some of the most beautiful people away And it is never my intention to discourage you Rather encourage you to change your life today This be the realest thing I ever have to say And after this a lot of folks won't like me no more But after this I gotta go answer to you, LordSo I've made up my mind, I'ma go to church on SundayAnd sing a song that may hurt somebody's feelings So that maybe thy will, will be done On Earth as it is in Heaven and I hopefully they will see How much they really be discouragin' a little old sinner like me
