Once
upon a pew I sat
And heard the preacher
ask,
"We need someone to
teach a class,
Now who will take this
task?"
Then God sat down beside
me there
And said, "Son,
that's for you."
"But, Lord, to stand
before a class
Is one thing I can't do.
Now Bill would be the man
to call,
There's nothing he won't
do.
I'd rather hear the
lesson taught
From here upon my pew."
Once upon a pew I sat
And heard the preacher
ask,
"We need someone to
lead the songs,
Now who will take this
task?"
Then God sat down beside
me there
And said, "Son,
that's for you."
"But Lord, to sing
before a crowd
Is one thing I can't do.
Now Brother King will do
the job,
There's nothing he won't
do.
I'd rather hear the music
played
From here upon my pew."
Once upon a pew I sat
And heard the preacher
ask,
"I need someone to
keep the door,
Now who will take this
task?"
Then God sat down beside
me there
And said, "Son,
that's for you."
"But saying things
to strangers, Lord,
Is one thing I can't do.
Now Tom can talk to
people, Lord,
There's nothing he won't
do.
I'd rather someone come
to me
And greet me on the pew."
As years just seemed to
pass me by,
I heard that voice no
more.
Until one night I closed
my eyes
And woke on heaven's
shore.
'Twas four of us together
there
To face eternity.
God said, "I need
just three of you
To do a job for me."
"O Lord, I cried,
"I'll do the job,
There's nothing I won't
do."
But Jesus said, "I'm
sorry, Friend,
In heaven there's no pew."
