Keeping one?s priorities straight while in the ministry is not always easy. This song serves as a reminder to me?to all who serve God in one capacity or another that our first ministry is at home living out the love of God to our spouses and children.

Lyrics
DEAR GOD
Dear God can you tell me where my daddy?s gone
Is there anyone who can hear my cry
He doesn?t have the time for any fun, can you tell me why
I?d like to laugh with him and tumble on the floor
But compared to church and other things I seem to be a bore
Dear god can you tell me where my mama?s gone
To the prayer meeting or to a friend in need
With tears I begged her not to go, she didn?t pay me any heed
Now it?s got to be real fun?serving the Lord
?Cause compared to church and other things, I seem to be a bore
But mama, and daddy
I need you to
Dear God I?m sorry you?re so far away
That I can hardly hear your voice at all
Now I?m not so sure there was anyone really there at all
And when I?m old enough I?ll never darken your door
?Cause compared to all the universe I?m sure I?m just a bore
But mama and daddy
I need you too, yes I do, and yes I do
Note: From ?Journey? 1980 Myrrh Records.
