I Don't Wanna Play Church

Today I sat alone in the pews

And I watched people come inside and sit

To wait for the morning service to begin

But then I saw some folks throw a big fit

So I waited to see if they would calm down

I hoped they remembered where they were

Cause they are the pillars in our little church

The fact that they were watched to them did not occur

Chorus:

I don’t wanna play church; I know it can’t be right

I’ve watched family and friends

And it seems an awful sight

I don’t wanna play church; It grieves the Holy Spirit

Cause when we play church

The Power of God’s not in it

I don’t wanna play church; I know it can’t be right

I’ve watched family and friends

And it seems an awful sight

I don’t wanna play church; It grieves the Holy Spirit

Cause when we play church

The Power of God’s not in it
