Sermons Lyrics

Getting closer everyday
Getting closer everyday
Lord have mercy on me
We're talking about two different things
Television and Life Magazine
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy on me
Got this idea in my head and I can't get it out
That all the money in the mint couldn't water a drought
I'm piling treasures up on earth
What you keep and what you take
Property, vanity, even knowledge for knowledge sake
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy on me
We're talking about two different things
Television and Life Magazine
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy on me
Want to see you psychoanalyst
Experienced in assisting to adjust
European travel, the H-Bomb, Onasis please come home
The front page of the New York Times, the front page of the New York Times
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy on me
We're talking about two different things
Television and Life Magazine
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy on me
Quit your gripping, shine your shoes
I'll tell you a little secret for your blues
Don't make no difference who is watching from the stands
The fat lady always claps her hands
Lord have mercy on me
Say it even if you're robbing from the poor
Lord have mercy on me
I believe the words will change the heart
The words will change the heart
The words will change the heart
The words will change the heart
The words will change the heart
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy on me
Talking about two different things
Television and Life Magazine
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy on me
Getting closer every day
Getting closer every day
Getting closer every day
