Alan Jackson - Monday Morning Church

(Brent Baxter/Erin Enderlin)



You left your Bible on the dresser

So I put it in the drawer

'Cause I can't seem to talk to God without yelling anymore

And when I sit at your piano

I can almost hear those hymns

The keys are just collecting dust

But I can't close the lid



You left my heart as empty

as a Monday morning church

It used to be so full of faith and now it only hurts

And I can hear the devil whisper

"Things are only getting worse"

You left my heart as empty

as a Monday morning church



The preacher came by Sunday

said he missed me at the service

He told me Jesus loves me

but I'm not sure I deserve it

'Cause the faithful man that you loved

is nowhere to be found

Since they took all that he believed

and laid it in the ground



Repeat chorus



I still believe in Heaven

and I'm sure you've made it there

But as for me without your love, girl

I don't have a prayer



Repeat chorus



You left your Bible on the dresser

so I put it in the drawer
