Will You Do It?

As part of our song service today, we played a recording of the following song.  The point we wanted to make is there is much to do as we go about our Christian walk.  Are you willing to be a "doer" or do you tend to "pass the buck"?  Following the song, we sang the hymn, "I Am Happy in the Service of the King" to reinforce the fact there is joy in the doing!  May you be challenged to step up the pace!

      Lyrics: Chorus:
Everybody said that anybody could do
The important things somebody should do
Everybody knows that anybody could do
All the good things that nobody did

Well the preacher came to me and said what I ought to do
If I wanted to make my religion true
He'd do it himself but he really didn't have the time
He said that the duty was mine

Everybody said that anybody could do
The important things somebody should do
Everybody knows that anybody could do
All the good things that nobody did      

Well the deacon came by and said give me a hand
If you want to be going to the promised land
Here is something that I don't have time to do
So I better give it to you

Everybody said that anybody could do
The important things somebody should do
Everybody knows that anybody could do
All the good things that nobody did      
      
Well I'm too busy so I tell everybody
The work's got to get done by somebody
It could be done by anybody
But nobody, nobody, nobody did


Everybody said that anybody could do
The important things somebody should do
Everybody knows that anybody could do
All the good things that nobody did              

All the good things that nobody did (x2)
