Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Excuse me can I talk to you please
Give me a few minutes then you can leave
It may be a lot or it may be a few
You know there is a God around
Grandma used to take you to the church downtown
But you where young & grandma made you do it
Some of ya'll paid attention some slept right through it
It's time now no betta time than now
For you to turn back to God
Please turn back to God

Life gets so heavy at times
Troubles add up to the mountain high
There's no way that you can get around them
So put your trust in God & not in man
In your heart you know that God is real
You know that he can save & he can heal
So don't front on what you know is true
Cause right now God is watching you

It's time now no betta time than now
For you to turn back to God
Please turn back to God

Just one more verse & then I'm through
Don't wanna get on your nerves but I really am concerned about you
I want you to make it to heaven
Instead of wasting time down here just having fun
