Sitting in the Pew

Sittin' in the pew, and you don't know what to do
About the time and time you've been, and never known
About the things that people said, and the things that people read
You forget them all before you reach your home

You got to listen, to the words, of the Lord
Don't you wonder, what they're up there talkin' for
All that's on your mind, is headin' out the door

When it's time to lift your hands, do you really understand
Or do you play along just like it were a game
When it's time for you to pray, does your mind wander astray
Then you say "Amen" and "bless His holy name"

You got to listen, to the words, of the Lord
Don't you wonder, what they're up there, talkin' for
All that's on your mind, is headin' out the door

When the preacher starts to preach, and the teacher starts to teach
Do you want to turn and visit with a friend
Well it's time you listen good, and it's time you understood
All your playin' 'round must come to and end

You got to listen, to the words, of the Lord
Don't you wonder, what they're up there talkin' for
All that's on your mind, is headin' out the door
