The Lord had a job for me, but I had so much to do, I said, "You get somebody else or wait till I get through." I don't know how the Lord came out, but He seemed to get along: But I felt kinda sneakin' like, 'cause I know'd I done Him wrong. One day I needed the Lord-needed Him myself-needed Him right away, And He never answered me at all, but I could hear Him say Down in my accusin' heart, "Nigger, I'se got too much to do, You get somebody else or wait till I get through." PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR-The Lord had a Job. |
