Now here’s what hurt the most, y’all
She wasn’t pitied in the pews
The elders circled wagons
The deacons said he paid his dues
‘Cause he was one of them
She left her country home behind
When the leader is the cheater
Good people kinda lose their minds
They won’t believe their eyes
They’ll see it for themselves, but I’m tellin’ you
If shepherds fleece their sheep enough
There’s bound to be a mutiny
The sins of priest and prophet
Always subject to more scrutiny
The gold will lose its luster
And every ounce of its worth
This will mystify the people
And all the kings of the earth
There’s a fire in the mountain
Holy Zion is the kiln
She may burn down to the bedrock
But still in wedlock, Lord willin’
She was worth her weight in gold
But she became this lump of clay
When the Potter sets his mind
She’ll find her shine again someday
