Bringing in the sheaves. Always thought it was bringing in the sheets, lol.

I can’t believe I forgot this one. I remember as a kid in church this little old lady named Cora Davenport, had to be like 90 years old, who would sing this one like super loud and way off key.

As I kid I was kinda scared of her because she was so old her eyes were sunk back in her head, making her look sort of skeletal. But you could bet your last dollar every Sunday her and her gigantic beehive hairdo would be in that front pew with her giant family Bible (the one with a picture of Jesus praying in the garden on the cover that was on all our coffee table growing up, you know the one) ready to go.

DROP KICK ME JESUS

Dropkick me, Jesus, through the goalposts of life
End over end, neither left, nor the right
Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights
Dropkick me, Jesus, through the goalposts of life

Make me, oh, make me, Lord, more than I am
Make a piece in your master game plan
Free from the earthly tempestion below
I've got the will, Lord, if you've got the toe

People steal, they cheat, they lie
For wealth and what it will buy
But don't they know on the Judgment Day
All the gold and silver will melt away

I'd rather be in a deep dark grave
And know that my poor soul was saved
Than to live in this world in a house of gold
And deny my God and doom my soul
