Have mercy on my soul

My father was a preacher
 my mother was the Sunday school teacher
Only thing I remember 
from Sunday School
was my childhood crush 
Momma was praying for the class 
While My eyes laid on 
The angel on the other side 
Of the table 
She would look up and smile 
Whooo
Sorry lord 
have mercy on my soul 
Mm lord have mercy 
On my soul 

In the school yard
She dress like a tomboy 
All the other boys were 
Scared of her 
Called her names
On the basketball court 
Made sure I made my 
Free throws so i could be 
A team captain 
Mmm
I always chose her 

Mm
On Sundays we all didn’t go 
To the same church 
Nobody seen her.. in her 
Sunday best but me 
Mmm
Lord have mercy on my soul 

on Sundays she wore her Sunday best
Usually in a flowery dress 
With her hair flowing 
Not in a messy bun 
Every elegant dress she wore 
match her dirty blonde hair 
mhm 
her eyes were brighter then
The sun beam rays glowing from 
The ocean, big and blue 
Stare to long you get hypnotized 
made me feel like 
i was standing in front of an angel 
mhm 
lord have mercy on my soul 
Whoo
Lord have mercy on my soul 

My father was a preacher
 my mother was the Sunday school teacher 
Only thing i remember 
from Sunday School
Was my childhood crush 
at prayer time i pray 
with my eyes open 
 staring right at her
As we look up and smiled at each other 
lord have mercy on my soul
for my eyes and ears only gave attention
To her 
Momma always asked what 
She taught bout in class 
I didn’t say it but I was thinking 
Momma you expect me to pay attention 
When an angel sitting in front of me 

Lord how mercy on my soul 

she sing in the choir 
she had the voice of an angel 
any given Sunday 
she could change a sinners heart 
Always had me lost in a daze 
Lord how mercy on my soul 

in school she was not the girl 
all the guys had crushes on 
Got the courage 
Ask her out on formal dance 
She said yes 
Here we are friends still to this day
We laugh bout it now 
Of course she always
Starts the conversation 
With remember when you 
Yeah yeah I remember 

Whoo 
Lord have mercy on my soul 
Ooo 
Lord have mercy on my soul
