SOME PEOPLE MAY SAY
You’re more pathetic than prophetic
Some people may say
That you’re far too intense too!
Some people may say
That you’re flaky and fanatics
And set up a blog about you
With some stuff they’ve found on YouTube
I’m going forward with my eyes on Jesus
Forward with my eyes on the Lord
I’m going forward with my eyes on Jesus
I ain’t going to be distracted anymore
Some people may say
You’re too noisy and aggressive
Some people may say
That you’re far too mental too
Some people may say
That you ought to be arrested
Saying, ‘˜that’s not in the bible’!
Then spread rumours all about you
And I’d rather be a doorkeeper
Than to dwell in the tents
Of the mockers and secret scoffers
Rather be a doorkeeper
In the house of the Lord
In the house of the Lord
In the house of the Lord my God
Godfrey Birtill
