TEN PERCENT TO BLESS
TEN PERCENT TO BLESS
Early Sunday morning , the church bell rings
Calling , us to come.
Exchanging , blessing for a sin
Making , sure to bring your tides ,
A gilt of money , a payment.
To confess in church
A sins , or a crime
Church , now begins
The congregation rises for a song to sing
Even now , he is detached
His concentration , floats in a cloud
It’s a struggle , to sing
His fake words are?
Please let this song end
He looks at his watch
Seconds , tick by in minutes
By his thoughts
How much more will the preacher say
Preaching words , longer than night and day
Past the basket
For his tiding to repay
This is more then ten percent
Of all that he’s made
Now bless him
Give back control
Of his day
Let him walk
His crime and sins paid
But I was and angel
Condemned to say
I was sent to him
With one more song to sing
He couldn’t see me
But he heard my song
Liked the bell at church loudly , it rung
I am and angel condemn
To show you love
Your ten percent paid can not buy your resolves
Hear me ?
When the congregation , rose to sing that song
When the preacher delivered his sermon
Your mind floated on a cloud
Detached was your mind
When your blessing rung
Never can you buy a blessing
With a percentage of love
