I'll See You Sunday
Twila Paris's song 'I'll See You Sunday' gently critiques the tendency to postpone meaningful connection with God and others. Through conversations with a friend, a reverend, and finally the Lord, the narrator admits to being too busy for immediate help or prayer, promising to show up on Sunday instead. The lyrics highlight the irony of prioritizing daily tasks over spiritual needs, yet they also reflect a common human struggle. The song encourages listeners to reconsider their own priorities and the excuses they make, reminding them that faith and relationships require more than a weekly commitment.
Hello, friend, how are you doing
Yes, I heard that you've been having
Some hard times these past few day
I'd suggest you call the preacher
'Cause you know I've never been
Too good at problems anyway
But I'll see you Sunday morning
Just a little after nine
I'll see you Sunday
And I hope you're doing fine
But just right now
I haven't got the time
Hello, Reverend
How nice of you to call, I do declare
I wish that I could talk some more
But I have to do my shopping
For the week, would you believe
I was just heading out the door
But I'll see you Sunday morning
Just a little after nine
I'll see you Sunday
And I hope you're doing fine
But just right now
I haven't got the time
Lord, I just can't talk to You right now
Oh, can't You see I'm busy
With these things I've got to do
But You know You're in my thoughts a while
And that many other things
I'm doing are for You
But, Lord, I'll see You Sunday morning
Just a little after nine
I'll see You Sunday
And I hope You're doing fine
But just right now
I haven't got the time
See you Sunday morning
See you Sunday morning...
