Story Behind The Song
I was inspired to write this because so many times we come to church out of habit and worshipping God is the last thing we're thinking of.
Song Description
The singer has the spunk enough to tell someone the truth with kindness not hurtfulness. Reminds people that we should try bringing something good into church with us, like a smile, and enjoy being at church.

Lyrics
Verse 1
If you're not gonna be a blessin'
And your sins you'll bring inside
Sunday morn why bother dressin'
with your new starched shirt and tie.
If you're mad at all your neighbors
and you're full of sinful pride
If you're gonna make matters worse
don't bring it into the church
Chorus
Don't bring in this week, you've had six days to change.
And now it's Sunday mornin' and you ain't even prayed.
But you'll walk right out like you walked in
We might even call you a hearse
But if you like the sin that you're wrapped up in
Don't bring it into the church.
Verse 2
The pastor you may be foolin'
While he preaches out his heart.
And once again you quench the fire
That the Spirit tries to start.
And you just don't only live for yourself,
There's others you have hurt.
Be sure your sins will find you out,
Don't bring them into the church.
Repeat Chorus
Tag
But if you like the sin that you're wrapped up in
Just remember the ice is getting mighty thin.
Confess your sins before you really get hurt
Don't bring them into the church.
