Just Suppose - Live

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
