It Don't Bother Us None

.
From the rockin' chairs on the front porch
   of our new home in retirement,
We can see across the street
   the headstones of the graveyard
      that waits for our bones...
But it don't bother us none.

There's a yard in between that needs
   to be mowin' and edgin'.
There's mail in the box at the end of
   the drive that needs to fetchin'.
But even more important, beyond that,
   there's a very busy street
      that still must be traveled
         on, to the right or the left,
            for all the rest of our days
               runnin' errands for the King...
But it don't bother us none.

Rise and go, each day He will so say,
   and when we are through
      with whatever He's asked
         of us to do, He will send us
            to the next place to so share
               the Good News about Jesus...
But it don't bother us none.

We're glad to go wherever the Spirit
   carries us away to, sharing
      the gospel all the way home.
 

Acts 8:26-40
