[A] 50 over 50 years of sensational nightingales
and been proclaiming our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
All that time I wasn't living the life I was singing about.
[N] I was playing church, saying Lord, Lord from my lips,
but my heart was far from God.
We can fool man sometimes, but we can't fool God no time.
It is indeed time out for playing church.
Mother told me, said, son, if you play with God like that, it's too dangerous.
Then mother said something to me, I never will forget it as long as I live.
Mother would look at me straight in the eye.
She said, son, listen, don't you know you can sing a lie just as well as you can tell one?
[A] Time out for playing church.
I laid my hands on mother's forehead in the casket, spoke to her spirit.
I said, mother, I'm going to be at that meeting one of these days to see you and greet you.
