Story Behind The Song

A preacher was once talking about how Christians need to be the hands and feet of God all week long, and stated "Going to church for an hour is the easy part." I thought to myself, "Yeah, it's the other 167 hours that make me nervous!"

Song Description

There are 168 hours in a week...that gives me plenty of time to do something stupid.

Lyrics

Put on a clean shirt, find a smile to match
Wave to the neighbors, or something like that
Trying hard to walk the walk; sometimes I fall flat on my face
Showered and dressed in my Sunday best, then tripping on my shoelace

I'm just longing for a pure heart, reflected in action and voice
So I walk through the church doors and pray I make better choices
And it feels real good for an hour or so, then it's back to reality
Where the everyday troubles and personal struggles try to get the best of me

It's the other 167 that make me nervous
It's the other 167 that I'm worried about

Sometimes the weekend, I fear it, if I'm weakened in spirit, and my heart plays tug of war
The dance of one step forward and one step back and I'm right back where I was before
You know what they say about idle time, and it's gonna be a long, long night
As the devil to my left tells me to forget about the angel to my right

It's the other 167 that make me nervous
It's the other 167 that I'm worried about
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord stay with me
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord stay with me

10,020 minutes, each one of them has temptation in it
10,020 minutes, each one of them has salvation in it
Stay with me, the rest of the week....please

Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord stay with me
'Cuz it's the other 167 that makes me nervous
It's the other 167 that I'm worried about
It's the other 167 that make me nervous
It's the other 167 that I'm worried about

10,020 minutes - 10,020 minutes - only 10,020 minutes to go
