sin

numbers one as to sin i’m usually all in
help another out sorry no doubt
you’ve heard i’m too busy for that route

help a neighbor that’s way too much labor
when i need a hand please understand
i’ll expect you to drop what you planned

i always take care of number one
you it’s true are always number two
don’t you wonder i have your number

About Gordon C. Stewart

I've always liked quiet. And, like most people, I've experienced the world's madness. "Be Still! Departure from Collective Madness" (Wipf and Stock Publishers, Jan. 2017) distills 47 years of experiencing stillness and madness as a campus minister and Presbyterian pastor (IL, WI, NY, OH, and MN), poverty criminal law firm executive director, and social commentator. Our cat Lady Barclay reminds me to calm down and be much more still than I would be without her.
