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
