Take Your Things and Go

I'm sitting here makin' the bottled tea.  No reason for this, but I thought I'd share some more of my lyrics with you. Between studying for the MCAT...yes, I hope to be a physician someday....and washing my clothes I've nothing better to do!  I once read in Anne Graham Loht's book about the story of Abraham and Lot.  Abraham took the road less traveled in life as opposed to his cousin Lot, who lived for wealth and luxury.  So I wrote a song about this:

Abraham and Lot

G
take your things and go
C
I'm never coming back
D
I've got a place to go
F                            C
but not to Ur and back



my donkey struts
 and straddles
by this small caravan
too many hills to battle
but surely we'll get there by them


You go I bid 
you farewell
but I won't miss you much
I've got ten wives and cattle
and palaces and such


It takes a slice of evening
to get your fill of wine
and then there's all the eating
so you just take your time


so take your things and go
the good times never end
I wander to and fro
but Canaan's quite the land


then  take your things and go
I'll see you whenever then
God's got a hold on me
for some work to tend
