Been Too Long

Lord, here we are again.

I'm praying to you before my end.

Knees on bend, hands together on my chin,

Our daily contact has become a trend.

God, your guidance is needed,

As I struggle to share my faith.

I've been away from church too long

So around pastor I'm scared to bare my face.

My tithes, that 10 percent I promised?

To give you every payday?

Well I let that tab add up

And now my soul is screaming mayday.

So I'm praying for your forgiveness Lord,

I'm done with these sinful affairs.

So after I get my act back together,

I'll be there next Sunday I swear.
