Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.”

Song

Common Man John Conlee

As the maid poured wine and we prepared to dine

I knew I was feelin' out of place

At a table as large as a river barge

And "I love you" written all on your face

I appreciate you hospitality

But I wish that we would go

Let me drive us to McDonalds and I'll talk to you

Concernin' somethin' you should really know

I'm just a common man, drive a common van

My dog ain't got a pedigree

If I have my say, it gonna stay that way

'Cause high-browed people lose their sanity

And a common man is what I'll be

I'll take a Chevrolet just any day

So give your Daddy back his Mercedes Benz

And there's some common people that I hang out with

They're my good time buddies, they're my friends

And I'd rather chug-a-lug a mug of Budweiser Beer

Than sip a crystal glass of wine

So won't you make your mind up to believe in me

And leave this high livin' world behind

I'm just a common man, drive a common van

My dog ain't got a pedigree

If I have my say it's gonna stay that way

'Cause high-browed people lose their sanity

And a common man is what I'll be

And I'm happy just being free

And I'm happy just being me

And I hope that you will see

I'm just a common man, drive a common van

My dog ain't got a pedigree

If I have my say, it gonna stay that way

'Cause high-browed people lose their sanity

And a common man is what I'll be

Sentence Prayer

Almighty God;

Only you are uncommon and amazing.

Help me to never think too highly of myself

May I be a man who is grateful for the little things such as a 

McDonald Hamburger,

New friends, New sights and familiar sights.

Jesus, thank you for dying and setting my free from the 

bondage of sin.

Holy Spirit, teach me to be happy just being me.

Amen
