Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
A man entered a church
Where the service had already begun
Music was playing and hands were raising
And all looked like so much fun
But he took a seat and laid his head
Right down in his hands
You could tell that he was hurting from within
A battered and broken man
[Verse 2]
His wife had just walked out on him
And ran off with his best friend
His teenage son was on crack cocaine and doing jail time again
His life was crumbling around him
In pain day after day
But no one even noticed or seemed to care
They were too busy shouting praise
[Chorus]
Are you too busy praising Jesus
To notice those in need
They're crying all around you waiting for someone just to see
But with your hands raised and your eyes closed
You haven't got a clue
That someone's life is going down the drain
And they're sitting right next to you
[Verse 3]
If you're so tuned into God
Then how come you can't hear
The Holy Spirit telling you
To touch that man right there
You say he can go up front for prayer
After the sermon's done
Now let me go and finish praising God
Oh this is so much fun
[Chorus]
Are you too busy praising Jesus
To notice those in need
They're crying all around you waiting for someone just to see
But with your hands raised and your eyes closed
You haven't got a clue
That someone's life is going down the drain
And they're sitting right next to you
[Chorus]
Are you too busy praising Jesus
To notice those in need
They're crying all around you waiting for someone just to see
But with your hands raised and your eyes closed
You haven't got a clue
That someone's life is going down the drain
And they're sitting right next to you
[Outro - spoken]
Do we bring God honor when we pretend that we're all fine
Maybe we should stop the singing while they're bleeding in the pews
After all, why should he accept our sacrifice when we're letting his kids die
Maybe we should treat the wounds before the party starts
What kind of hospital are we
Where the wounded get ignored
[Outro - Sung]
No one even noticed or even cared
They were too busy shouting praise
