What us gon' do?
Oh Lawd,
what us gon do now?
Now that I dropped the shield
And brought you into that sacred worship space
Where vulnerability preaches
Hurt sings solos
Pain directs the dance ministry and
The altar is covered with yesterdays?
Oh Lawd,
What us gon do
Now that I know you was only
here for watch care
never wanting full membership
Only benefits
Without the tithe
Oh Lawd,
What us gon do
Now that the doors of the church are open
And there are thieves in the temple
Guess this has become another dead church
Filled with ghosts but none holy
Reckon I'll go on back to the juke joint
Where the communion cup is bigger
There's plenty of bread for breaking
Sins are more easily forgiven
And I know the words to the songs
And it's okay if I sing off key
Oh Lawd
What us gon do?
