Wordy Excuses

Lord

I was on my way to YOUR HOUSE
BUT
the world got in the way

I was on my way to PRAISE you
THEN
the world got in the way

I was on my way to THANK YOU
AGAIN
the world got in the way

I was on my way to WORSHIP you
STILL
the world got in the way

I was on my way to SHARE with you
SOMEHOW
the world got in the way

I was on my way to CONFIDE in you
UNTIL
the world got in the way

I was on my way to ASK of you
WHEN
the world got in the way

I was on my way to SING to you
ALAS
the world got in the way...

I am here now Lord
Forgive me Lord
That's what I need to say
The world and its distractions
Can wait until another day.
