(Greetings- we are about to get very very close and very very personal on this song
So tune in pay close attention yeah)

Verse:
See I aint trying to diss nobody
But somebody in the body is going to be offended probably
And take this song all-wrong
Let me give you some background from where this song stems from
Some years back- I came with a wife attach
I took vows- with a sis I had seen for while
You know- till one of us were six feet under
I promise to first Corinthian thirteen love her
My Christian life’s highlight
Quickly turned into a low though
Seven months in she aint want to be married no more
I cried lost weight and cried some more
Sad singing Ella Fitzgerald tunes
My congregation ignoring the elephant that was in the room
Gloom! Black clouds when I stepped out of my house
Like it was always raining
Praying when will this pain end

Hook:
You (4x)
You (4x)
Yeah (4x)
You (3x) you weren’t around (2x)
(By no means or stretch of the imagination am I trying to condone divorce
Please please do not take that away from this song
What I am trying to do is though is- I am giving a voice to that person who is divorced
And the congregation knows the situation but maybe avoided the situation maybe not sure
How to minister to that person but to leave them to their own devices is not the answer
Please minister to them Please minister to them)
You (4x)
You (4x)
Yeah (4x)
You (3x) you weren’t around (2x)

Verse:
Glory to God the boy aint bitter
After being abandoned by my brothers and sisters
It’s a different pain being hurt by church folks
When you thought they would be the ones to consol you the most
You hit the ignore button on your cell phone
“Leave a message at the tone- I’ll get back to you later on”
That was a voice mail I aint bother to leave
I called on the wrong person obviously
Folded my hands and then dropped to a knee
I should have called on the father right from Jump Street
Man disappoints God never did
Man’s words are fallible God’s always true to his
Deutronomy thirty-one six
Hebrews thirteen five
Need more check Zeke twenty-six four
Second Thessalonians the whole chapter three
Then it was just us two one

Hook:
You (4x)
You (4x)
Yeah (4x)
You (3x) you weren’t around (2x)
(Please be encouraged by this song
I think that sometimes we feel away from God or forsaken by God
That’s the word
But if God was going to leave us
He would have left us while we were dead in our sin
So please take encouragement from this song
And know that the Lord will never leave you
Even when people might fail you
The Lord will never fail you
Put your trust in him
His son Jesus the Christ)
You (4x)
You (4x)
Yeah (4x)
