ONCE UPON A PEW |

Once
Upon A Pew, I Sat 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,
"Son, that's for you."
"But, Lord, to stand before a class Is one
thing I can't do"
Now Bill would be the man to call, There's
nothing he 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,
"Son, that's for you."
"But Lord, to sing before a crowd Is one
thing I can't do.
Now Brother King will do the job, There's nothing
he 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 tokeep the door, Now who
will take this task?"
Then God sat down beside me there And said,
"Son, that's for you."
"But saying things to strangers, Lord, Is
one thing I can't do"
Now Tom can talk to people, Lord, There's nothing
he 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 just 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."
