Look Beyond Yourself

Seein' me every Sunday smiling all the while
Askin' me "hows-it-goin'" while I answer "Hi all"
Deep down I'm thinkin' you really don't know
You have no idea my friend what I'm goin' through

I know everyone's busy Oh-God-how-I-understand-that!
It just seems so shallow that you'd even ask
If I called you on Monday would we even talk?
Would you even begin to know the path where I walk?

It's a struggle just to live from day to another day
It's literally a treat to go to church just to get away
But would you really understand what I'm sayin'?
I need your friendship every day:  I'm prayin'

    God is so good when you take time for a friend
    Look beyond yourself to whom you were sent
