The Realest Thing I Ever Heard

"Made Up My Mind" by Lyfe Jennings

Lord they really think they foolin' you by comin' to church on Sunday

prayin' and layin' hands on folks, stompin' and jumpin' around fakin' the holy ghost

but it's a thin line line between walkin' it and talkin' it

livin' it and givin' it or just pretendin' it's alright

and did they really think that they could pull the wool over Your eyes, Lord?

did they really think that by fakin' they were saved they would get the same reward?

this be the realest thing I ever wrote for sure

and after this a lot of folks won't like me no mo'

but after this I gotta go answer to You Lord

so I made up my mind that I'ma go to church on Sunday

and sing a song that may hurt somebody's feelings so that maybe

Thy will, will be done

on earth as it is in heaven

and hopefully the will see

how much they really be discouragin' a little ol' sinner like me...

And Lord who they think they jivin' by singin' these songs full of glory

then out in the world it's a different story

I'm runnin' outta people to pray for me

and I'm not tryin' to act like I'm the perfect man

but if you speak about it, you should be about it, not just preach about it all day

'cause if you do you run the risk of chasin' some of the most beautiful people away

and it is never my intention to discourage you, rather encourage you

to change your life today

this be the realest thing I ever had to say

and after this a lotta folks won't like me no mo'

but after this I gotta go answer to You Lord

so I made up my mind, I'ma go to church on Sunday

and sing a song that may hurt somebody's feelings so that maybe

Thy will, will be done

on earth as it is in heaven

and hopefully they will see

how much they really be discouragin' a little ol' sinner like me...
