NOT ON SUNDAY NIGHT

Gus Nichols

I love the church that Jesus bought and know that it is right.

I go there every Sunday morn But not on Sunday night.

I love to sing the songs of God, such worship must be right.

This I do on Sunday morn But not on Sunday night.

May God bless our preacher, too, And give him power and might.

And put a sinner in my place On next Sunday night.

I'd go through mud, even snow, Do anything that's right.

To be at church on Sunday morn, But not on Sunday night.

Let all the others be on hand, To worship God aright.

But I just want my easy chair And comforts Sunday night.

I know I really need more strength To keep me in the fight

For help I come on Sunday morn, But not on Sunday night.

True, the church can save the world, If its pure light shines bright.

I help it shine on Sunday morn, But not on Sunday night.

Yes, all of us must surely die, I hope I'll be doing right.
