Sunday's Comin' (So It's Time To Get Christian)

Now with more cowbell.  Spent Friday evening hammering away at this song, as I'd gotten George to play drums for me, and had to build the rest of the song around them.  He also played a cowbell.  Like, a real cowbell.  From a cow.  Rusty.
  I hit a dinner plate to make kinda the sound of distant church bells.  I a lot of problems with software and keyboards and stuff.  It make me play almost all of the parts fairly angrily.  It shows. It also shows why people who love church (especially church with modern worship music) do not love me:



 Sunday’s Coming
All week long you’ve been with the others
Now it’s time to draw away
It’s time to climb up to that higher ground
Far higher than they
To be lifted up by the grace of God
To a place we hope to stay
Sunday’s coming
So it’s time to git Christian.

Sunday’s coming
So it’s time to git Christian
Remember the calling
Get back on the mission
Black and white thinking
Support our position
Sunday’s coming
So it’s time to git Christian

There are things they do that we won’t do
And don’t we not do them well
We live a life that’ll show any average Joe
How to stay right out of Hell
To lay hold of love and liberty
Christ died to the world to give
Then we cast them both down at his feet
And we’re careful (stop)
 not to love and live.

It’s so key we not be confused with them
Be a bright testimony
So we draw apart choose that better part
How bless’d God made us we
And to swear and chew may be fine for you
But we wouldn’t stoop to that
Quite beneath us
In our special position

Praise God, Praise God, Praise Go-ah-ah-od
He made you, and me, and all of us His children
His grace, His Grace, His grace May we live worthy,
Worthy, worthy, worthy of it
Praise God, Praise God, Praise God for our pastor
He’s the bomb, the bomb, the bo-ah-ah-om
And Praise our church, our church, and praise us all for going
And praise us, praise us,
Praise us all for going...
