IN MY OWN WAY

So you say that I don't belong To the crowd singing God's love song And you say that it don't seem right How could someone like me see the light Well excuse me, if you think I'm rude But to me you're the one being crude And excuse me, but I think you're wrong Ain't nobody gonna stop me from singing I'm true to my vision, I'm keeping my faith Don't wanna mess with your religion It's a matter of taste This ain't no Gospel but don't you know I want to thank the Lord in my own sweet way I believe in the heavens above And the goodness we're all made of I believe when my mind's at rest There's someone up there, Lord I must be blessed Everybody listen if you please You don't always have to get on your knees Everybody if your heart's at ease Just be thankful and don't take it for granted When there's thunder and lightning I'll sill carry on I'll hear the voice from up above Telling me to be strong This ain't no Gospel but don't you know I want to praise the Lord in my own sweet way I'm true to my vision, I'm keeping my faith Don't wanna mess with your religion It's a matter of taste This ain't no Gospel but don't you know I want to thank the Lord in my own sweet way
