Scott Wesley Brown - Please Don't Send Me To Africa lyrics

rate me

Preacher Speaking:

[You know I also attended

Holyland USA in Del Rio TX

Home of the drive in baptismal car wash

and disco house of worship

say Hallelujah

Brethren, that reminds me of a story

I'll never forget the movie Jungle Book

Say Hallelujah

You remember it dont'cha? Dr. Livingstone

say Hallelujah

Beautiful man, pillar of the community

Well you know, quite frankly he went into

The wilds of the jungle and never came back]

Oh Lord I am your willing servant

You know that I have been for years

I'm here in this pew every Sunday and Wednesday

I've stained it with many a tear

I've given You years of my service

I've always given my best

And I've never asked you for anything much

So, Lord I deserve this request

Chorus:

Please don't send me to Africa

I don't think I've got what it takes

I'm just a man,I'm not a Tarzan

Don't like lions, gorillas or snakes

I'll serve you here in suburbia

In my comfortable middle class life

But please don't send me out into the bush

Where the natives are restless at night

I'll see that the money is gathered

I'll see that the money is sent

I'll wash and stack the communion cups

I'll tithe eleven percent

I'll volunteer for the nursery

I'll go on the youth group retreat

I'll usher, I'll deacon , I'll go door to door

Just let me keep warming this seat

(Chorus)

Please don't send me to Africa

I don't think I've got what it takes

I'm just a man I'm not a Tarzan

Don't like lions, gorillas or snakes

I'll serve you here in suburbia

In my comfortable middle class life

But please don't send me to the ends of the earth

Where the natives are restless at night

I would like to express my appreciation to you for bailing me out of this crisis. Just after surfing around throughout the online world and meeting principles which were not pleasant, I was thinking my entire life was done. Existing without the presence of solutions to the difficulties you have fixed by means of your guideline is a serious case, as well as those which may have in a negative way affected my entire career if I hadn't come across the blog. Your actual skills and kindness in playing with the whole thing was important. I'm not sure what I would've done if I hadn't discovered such a point like this. It's possible to at this moment look forward to my future. Thanks very much for this specialized and effective guide. I won't think twice to refer the sites to anyone who needs to have guidelines about this subject matter.
