Made Up My Mind

Lord, they really think they foolin' you

By comin' to church on Sunday

Prayin' 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, Lord

So I've made up my mind, I'ma go to church on Sunday

And 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, Lord

So I've made up my mind, I'ma go to church on Sunday

And 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
