Why the Bishop Loves Sundays

Why the Bishop Loves Sundays

It’s Sunday!
  Can I get a Amen?
You can do better than that,
  C’mon, Amen!

I love football,
I mean I love football

When I was a child,
  My Father worked six days a week,
Saturdays too,
  And on Sunday, if there was a game,
He’d watch football

I’d watch with him

Now you couldn’t talk during football,
Except at commercials or
  Between plays,
But Sundays, football,
That was our time, that was my time
  To spend with my Father

So this Sunday we have this gospel,
Here’s this Jesus, just walkin’ around Galilee,
  “La dee-da…”
And he sees these men fishing in a boat,
So he says “Hey, follow me!”
  And just like that they quit their boats and go after him,
Why did they go?
  Next, a little while later, he comes across two more,
Fixing their nets with their Dad,
And them too, right there and then,
  They quit their nets and they go after him,
Who does that?

Would you?

Now, I don’t know about you,
But I loved spending
  Sundays with my Father,
And if I had the chance, yeah,
I’d quit my job too, just to spend
  One more Sunday with my Father

It’s Sunday!
  Can I get a Amen?
You can do better than that,
  C’mon, Amen!
