Where were you?

"I came to your church last Sunday,
I walked up and down the aisle,
I noticed your seat was vacant,"
Said the Master, with kindly smile.


"Yes, I was home," I answered,

"Some folks from up Salem way
Drove down for a week-end visit,
So we stayed in the house all day."

Or,"I had an awful headache,"

"I had a roast in the pan,"
Or, "We overslept this morning,
But I go whenever I can."

The Master gazed at me sadly,

As He was about to speak,
"My child," He replied, "Are there not
Six other days in the week?"

I saw I had grieved my Master,
As slowly He turned away,
And I vowed He'd not find me absent
Again on His holy day!
