I let the pile run higher the caked-on residue Of all the things I "Really should do." So many dishes to do And I left the food to dry on too I left this job, and now it's past due It's not up to You to be the one who washes the dishes too All I ask is for You to show me where to put the dishes away I need to wash the dishes again It's what I need to do After I wash the dishes, I can better serve You God, ThankYou

Washing the dishes
I let the pile run higher the caked-on residue Of all the things I "Really should do." So many dishes to do And I left the food to dry on too I left this job, and now it's past due It's not up to You to be the one who washes the dishes too All I ask is for You to show me where to put the dishes away I need to wash the dishes again It's what I need to do After I wash the dishes, I can better serve You God, ThankYou
