Jesus, Don t Come Back Today


Jesus, don t come back today,
I ve got too much to do,
Jesus, I ll be ready for you
In a day or two.

I know it sounds a little strange,
I need at least a day to change,
I ve got some people to repay,
So Jesus, don t come back today.

Jesus, don t come back today,
I ve got too much to do,
Jesus, I ll be ready for you
In a day or two.

I need to change the way I live,
I ve got some people to forgive,
I m busy learning how to pray,
So Jesus, don t come back today

Lamia

The lady bade me linger for awhile Beside the cypress in the burying-yard. She fetched me to a graveside with her smile And set me on a marker cold and hard. She smiled. It all comes down to this, you know, That kings and merchants, each the same, Will sleep as brothers is a marble row Till mosses blanket over each proud name. I shivered mid-November air breathed chill And I looked down at my watch. The hour was late. I said, However much I d like to listen still, My appointment scheduled in the village cannot wait. She smiled and begged my pocket-knife from me, Then carved my name upon the cypress tree. 12-10-90 (04-18-80 Lamia)
