Are You Just Sitting on the Church Pew???

Once upon a pew I sat

And heard the preacher ask,

"We need someone to teach a class,

Now who will take this task?"

Then God sat down beside me there

And said, "Son, that's for you."

But, Lord, to stand before a class

Is one thing I can't do.

Now Brother Forbes would be the man to call,

There's nothing he won't do.

I'd rather hear the lesson

Taught from here upon my pew.

Once upon a pew I sat

And heard the preacher ask,

"We need someone to lead the songs,

Now who will take this task?"

Then God sat down beside me there

And said, "Son, that's for you."

But Lord, to sing before a crowd

Is one thing I can't do.

Now Brother Jenkins will do the job,

There's nothing he won't do.

I'd rather hear the music played

From here upon my pew.

Once upon a pew I sat

And heard the preacher ask,

"I need some one to keep the door,

Now who will take the task?"

Then God sat down beside me there

And said, "Son, that's for you."

Saying things to strangers, Lord,

Is one thing I can't do.

Now Brother Neal can talk to people, Lord,

There's nothing he won't do

I'd rather someone come to me

And greet me on the pew.

As years just seemed to pass me by,

I heard that voice no more.

Until one night I closed my eyes

And woke on heaven's shore.

There was four of us together there

To face eternity.

God said, "I need just three of you

To do a job for me."

"O Lord," I cried, "I'll do the job,

There's nothing I won't do."

But Jesus said, "I'm sorry, Friend,

In heaven there is no pew."

Friend, we are called to serve the Lord while we are here on earth!!! God has given us special talents and spiritual gifts to be used for Him. What crowns will you cast at your Saviour's feet if you don't earn any here on earth? In Heaven, there are no pews..... everyone will be busy praising and bringing glory to God!!! Why not start preparing here on earth??? God did not save us to sit on the pew!!!
