suppose you
could change odds with god for just one hour
and look upon this world and know of all its shame
could you accept the great number of excuses
that's made
each sunday morning when the church bells ring
we have news commentators and preachers
who visit all parts of the earth
new papers carry many stories of problems yet unsolved
yet our greatest problem seems to be
traveling the short distance from our home to church
everyone who does not attend has an excuse
and if you're among one of the many who had an excuse
last sunday morning
let's pray that god will accept it
for what if you given your last offer eternity to
suppose you
could change eyes with god for just one hour
and look upon this world and know of all its shame
could you accept the great number of excuses
last minute sunday morning when the church bells ring
now let's suppose
that you're the mother of a small baby
and you don't go to church
and your excuse is the baby would cry
and possibly embarrass you in the congregation
and irritate the preacher
now let's say that god should see fit
to take away your excuse
oh you may hear a few complaints from people around you
and some may even wish that you would leave
but that little babies cry won't irritate god
no not in the least
suppose you could change god with god for just one hour
and look upon this world and all ball and shame
could you accept the great offer of excuses that's made
each sunday morning when the church bells ring
