God is not Ready to Forgive Me Yet

from The Mad Preacher by The Songs of Tom Smith

/

lyrics

We re-built the gymnasium, under the church we’d meet
Everyone knew I had a knack with the youth, they gather at my feet
If it wasn’t me was it not God’s plan, the lack in your life to fill?
In the vestry we learned about sin, and gave into the thrill
CHORUS
God Is Not Ready to Forgive Me Yet
It used to be us against the world

I instructed you in boxing and you learnt to duck and weave
I only granted you what was always denied to me
You’d bide your time just like me if you were beaten black and blue
I was always there at the side of the ring tending to your wounds

CHORUS

I came and tutored you in Latin, when your mother was in trouble
And you’d mow my lawn and do my errands for extra pocket money
For your wedding I gave you a car and I helped you buy a house
I’m sorry I never return your calls, I suppose it’s too late now

The Bishop was my confessor and for an improper urge
I could pray if it eased the burden, such trivial concerns
The whispers from parishes near and far, there’s always one more chance
There’s a place for everyone in God’s Church now they just wash their hands
