Checkbook
Debts and Redemption: A Plea for Divine Financial Intervention
Lyrics
Lord, get out your checkbook
Expressing a plea for divine intervention or assistance from a higher power.
And your pen
Asking for not just help but a tangible resolution, symbolized by using a checkbook and pen.
I never signed up for all the trouble that I'm in
Regret or frustration about facing unexpected challenges or difficulties.
Lord knows that I'm just a poor boy
Highlighting personal humility and acknowledging a modest background.
But I try hard, so hard, not to sin
Despite challenges, making a conscious effort to avoid wrongdoing or moral transgressions.
So Lord, get out your checkbook, Lord, get out your pen
Reiterating the plea for divine assistance, emphasizing the sincerity of the request.
Just make it out to cash, Lord, don't make it out to me
Suggesting a preference for a direct intervention rather than a more indirect or complicated solution.
I think my banker man's an atheist and I just know he'd never believe..
Expressing distrust or skepticism towards financial institutions and those in charge of handling money matters.
That you'd reach down from heaven, Lord, and wipe away my debt
Desiring a miraculous solution to alleviate financial burdens and debts.
Aw, but open them heavenly pockets, Lord, and we'll make him a believer yet
Conveying the hope that a divine intervention would influence and change the mindset of the banker or financial figure.
Lord, get out your checkbook
Repeating the plea for divine assistance, reinforcing the urgency of the situation.
Lord, get out your pen
Emphasizing the need for a tangible solution and divine guidance to overcome financial struggles.
I've been way down in the red so long, I could use a little mercy just to get back in black again
Expressing a prolonged period of financial difficulty and a desire for mercy to recover and prosper again.
Now I, I'm just a poor boy
Reiterating personal humility and the continuous effort to avoid moral shortcomings.
But I try hard, so hard, not to sin
Despite challenges, maintaining a commitment to moral integrity and righteousness.
So Lord, get out your checkbook, Lord, get out your pen
Reemphasizing the plea for divine intervention, underscoring its importance.
Well, I've been wearin' out the pavement, Lord, and it's all been uphill
Describing persistent struggles and challenges faced, particularly in relation to financial matters.
But Atmos energy and OMU keep raisin' my damn bills
Naming specific entities contributing to financial difficulties, adding detail to the narrative.
And if I can't catch a break, Lord, I won't make it one more day
Expressing desperation and the belief that without intervention, the situation is untenable.
But if I could get your attention and divine intervention, I know that I'd be saved
Conveying a strong belief in the potential for salvation through divine attention and intervention.
