[00:00:00] Maplewood Methodist Church (Don't Let Me Miss The Glory Album Version) - Gordon Mote

[00:00:14] Spends every night inside these walls

[00:00:18] Dumps the trash and sweeps the halls

[00:00:22] And he makes sure

[00:00:23] That stained glass shines

[00:00:29] Picks up paper in the pews

[00:00:32] And stacks the chairs in the choir room

[00:00:36] But his real work don't start

[00:00:39] Till quittin' time

[00:00:43] When he goes through every prayer request

[00:00:47] Lying on the pastor's desk

[00:00:51] He hits his knees

[00:00:52] And says God bless Miss Sommersby

[00:00:58] Lord it's hard to live alone

[00:01:02] And Marianna Thompson

[00:01:04] Wants her daddy back at home

[00:01:08] And Mr Nelson needs forgiveness

[00:01:12] Old Man Miller's crops need rain

[00:01:18] While the whole town's fast asleep

[00:01:20] He's hard at work

[00:01:25] Pullin' that midnight shift

[00:01:27] At the Maplewood Methodist Church

[00:01:37] Every night's the same routine

[00:01:40] And by the time he finally leaves

[00:01:43] He's done so much more

[00:01:46] Than clean the building

[00:01:51] He's called down angels from on high

[00:01:54] And helped someone through a sad goodbye

[00:01:58] And lost souls finally find what they've been missing

[00:02:05] The congregation will never see

[00:02:09] That simple man who still believes

[00:02:12] He can change the world

[00:02:14] By saying please

[00:02:17] Give Johnny Mays

[00:02:19] The strength to put that bottle down

[00:02:23] Mrs Bailey and her husband

[00:02:26] Find a way to work things out

[00:02:30] And Mrs Olsen hold on long enough

[00:02:34] To see her daughter's wedding day

[00:02:40] While the whole town's fast asleep

[00:02:42] He's hard at work

[00:02:46] Pullin' that midnight shift

[00:02:49] At the Maplewood Methodist Church

[00:02:54] The sign out front says Sunday service

[00:02:57] Starts at nine and ten-fifteen

[00:03:01] But he holds his own revival

[00:03:06] Seven nights a week

[00:03:25] While the whole town's fast asleep

[00:03:28] He's hard at work

[00:03:32] Pullin' that midnight shift

[00:03:34] At the Maplewood Methodist Church

[00:03:39] Spends every night inside these walls

[00:03:43] Dumps the trash and sweeps the halls

[00:03:47] And he makes sure that stained glass shines
