You see this face...
this smile
Well, don't let it
fool you, child;
On behalf of usher boards,
I can say...
Sometimes that Sunday
might not be my funday
I'll still smile, seat ya
& even fan
your holyghost shout,
So, please be nice
& not contrary,
if not...well,
fool around & find out.
Yes, we have usher meetings & practice,
but there's no congregational rehearsal.
I'll laugh & grin &
I might feel
differently within...
but TODAY, I'm just being a church usher.
"Lady, come get your kid:
'Cause, you know if I did,
"It's not like the times
back in the day...
You'd be ready to
brawl or call the Law."
But I tell ya,
these millennial
won't run me away.
There's no rehearsal for being this kinda
usher today.
I'll give you tithing envelopes,
but don't
make me mad, please;
When I look funny
'cause your kid is using it
to practice his ABCs.
Even in the Winter, standing at
the doors you, I greet...
You settled down for services
while I have
cold hands & feet.
Besides ready to sit down, but i pass these programs around...
"Follow men, maam...
I'll show where the restrooms are found."
I lift my arm to greet you; that means bring it on down this way...
"You wanna sit here?
What about there?
I'll smile with
stewardship & say...
Yes, I'm that doorkeeper
in the Lord's house,
but, don't mess
with me today;
THIS usher might
just call you out...
Tho I know better,
not or whether;
let's agree; I'll be nice
& you'll be nice to me...
I've practiced
at the meetings
but never,
ever had a rehearsal
for being today's church usher.
