Do Not Expect Much
Lots of part-time Christians act like
"Do not expect much from me".
I love Jesus but I need to keep
my schedule booklet free.

I want to socialize and join
Bible study groups to learn more.
But, please excuse me when I need
to slip out of the door.

Yes, it is true  - I send my offerings
to church each week.
And of course, I can not say how much
it is because of that I cannot speak.

Oh, and another thing - I will need you to
watch my three children every week at Bible class.
Be sure to put them on the church bus
and get them home, for I must dash.

But don't forget, call on me when you need help
at the church, I'm always somewhere around.
And please, please understand that I am still going
to be with you all one day - headed Glory bound.
