Excuse
by Roger Montgomery
I didn't have time to go to church
But God, your gospel I didn't refuse
I was just too tired to get up
So please excuse my excuse.
God, you took the time to create time
So this may seem so hollow to you
I didn't have time for this Creator of mine
So God, please excuse my excuse.
You've probably heard them all
But here's one I can always use
I was sick almost all morning
So God, please excuse my excuse.
There is no excuse for not have a good excuse
Is there anything I can use
I just couldn't seem to get started
So God, please excuse my excuse.
Is that the best I can do?
It may be square or even obtuse
It will do until I can think of one better
So God, please excuse my excuse.
God, you know how much I love you
By my actions I'm sure you do
I've sure been thinking about starting to church
So God, please excuse my excuse.
I was really busy getting ready
Because one day I will have to face you
But church seemed so far away
So God, please excuse my excuse.
I know it looks pretty feeble
After all you've been through
To bleed and even die for me
God, please excuse my excuse.
It looks like I could do better
Is that blood I see on you
I think I should serve you even more
So God, please excuse my excuse.
I guess I'm running out of words
I'll probably be speechless when I see you
Things are not looking any better
So God, please excuse my excuse.
The time seems to be slipping away
I don't guess that's good news
Another day wasted on me
But God, please excuse my excuse.
We've already heard the verdict
Our excuses are overused and suffering abuse
I heard that you said in your word
Man is without excuse.
