Excuses - The Worship Crew

Excuses excuses

You'll hear them every day

Now the devil he'll supply them

If the church you stay away

When people come to know the lord

The devil always loses

So to keep them folks away from church

He offers them excuses

In the summer it's too hot And

In the winter it's too cold

In the spring time when the weather's just right

You find some place else to go

Well it's up to the mountains or down

To the beach or to visit some old friend

Or to just stay home and kinda relax

And hope some of the kin folks drop in

Well the church benches are too hard

And that choir sings way too loud

Boy you know how nervous you can get

When you're sitting in a great big crowd

The doctor told you

"Now you better watch them crowds

They'll set you back "

But you go to that old ball game

Because you say "It helps you to relax "

Well a headache sunday morning

And a backache sunday night

But by worktime monday morning

You're feeling quite alright

One of the children has a cold

"Pneumonia do you suppose "

Why the whole family had to stay home

Just to blow that poor kid's nose

Excuses excuses you'll hear them every day

And the devil he'll supply them

If the church you stay away

When people come to know the lord

The devil always loses

So to keep them folks away from church

He offers them excuses

Well the preacher he's too young

And maybe he's too old

The sermons they're not hard enough

Maybe they're too bold

His voice is much too quiet-like

Sometimes he gets too loud

He needs to have more dignity

Or else he's way too proud

Well the sermons they're too long

And maybe they're too short

He ought to preach the word

With dignity instead of "Stomp and snort "

Well that preacher we've got must

Be "The world's most stuck up man "

One of the lady's told me the other day

"Well he didn't even shake my hand "

Excuses excuses you'll hear them every day

And the devil he'll supply them

If the church you stay away

When people come to know the lord

The devil always loses

So to keep them folks away from church

He offers them excuses

So to keep them folks away from church
