Church Is Out Songtext
von Betty Wright

You know, I′ve always been know as
Being one of the most forgiving people
I mean, I forgive beyond forgiveness
I mean, you of all people know that
This time I just, mm
It just, it's left a bad taste in my mouth
I guess from all the other times
When I really just should′ve just nipped it in the bud
Just got some closure on the situation
I just kept on

I've sung my last song
I've prayed my last prayer
Cried my last tear
Still your not here
I′ve lit my last candle, with my last ounce of faith
With my last little courage
I′m gonna back away


See my true confession is
I know where you've been
See I′ve got the revelation and this is where the chapter ends
Oh, ooh, mmm

Church is out
And the choirs saying amen
You say I'm "sorry" but you don′t mean it
And I won't forgive again
Church is out
And the choirs saying amen
You say "I′ll do better" but you don't mean it
And I won't forgive your sin

I′ve watched my last all night movie, all by myself
Listening to the sounds (the sounds)
Is boring me to death
I believed you, for the last time
I know you′re saying "there she goes again"
I can read your mind
But I'm gonna be like my father, who sits high and looks low
And I′m gonna be steady watching
Just to see how long you go-o-o, mm


Church is out
And the choirs saying amen
You say I'm "sorry" but you don′t mean it
And I won't forgive again
Church is out
And the choirs saying amen
You say "I′ll do better" but you don't mean it
And I won't forgive your sin

Well, well, well, well,
Thou shall not kill my love
Thou shall not steal my love
Ooooh
I offered you a perfect sacrifice
Why couldn′t you be real my love?
(I prayed), I prayed til I, I prayed out
(I cried) I cried til I, I cried out
(I shouted) I shouted my last shout
Now, even the folks in the back row know
Even the folks in the back row know

Church is out
And the choirs saying amen
You say I′m "sorry" but you don't mean it
And I won′t forgive again
Church is out
And the choirs saying amen
You say "I'll do better" but you don′t mean it
And I won't forgive your sin

(Church is out)
I,I,I, I′ve been living in hell
Locked in somebody's world, exhale
I, I say, ooh,ooh,ooh
Over, it's all, all over, hey, hey, yeah
You see, it′s time to get my hat
Time to get my bible and my bag

And, it′s over, it's over, it′s all over
When I woke up this mornin', ah
I didn′t have no doubt

Church is out
