The Pew
Once upon a pew I sat and heard the preacher ask, "We need someone to teach a class, now who will take this task?" Then God sat down beside me there and said, "Daughter, that's for you."But Lord, to stand before a class is one thing I can't do! Now Sue would be the woman to call, there's nothing she won't do. I'd rather hear the lesson taught from here upon my pew. Once upon a pew I sat and heard the preacher ask, "We need someone to lead the songs, now who will take this task?" Then God sat down beside me there and said, "Daughter that's for you."
But Lord, to sing before a crowd is one thing I can't do. Now Sister King will do the job, there's nothing she won't do. I'd rather hear the music played from here upon my pew. Once upon a pew I sat and heard the Preacher ask, "I need someone to keep the door, now who will take this task?" Then God sat down beside me there and said, "Daughter that's for you."
But saying things to strangers, Lord, is one thing I can't do. Now Betty can talk to people, Lord, there's nothing she won't do. I'd rather someone come to me and greet me on the pew. As years just seemed to pass me by, I heard that voice no more until one night I closed my eyes and woke on Heaven's shore. 'Twas four of us, together there to face eternity. God said, "I need three of you to do a job for me." "O Lord," I cried, "I'll do the job, there's nothing I won't do." But Jesus said, "I'm sorry friend, in heaven there's no pew."
