[Dialogue Intro]
But we Christians ought not ever intentionally miss church
[Verse 1]
I don't go to church anymore
I know he still loves me
[Chorus]
I know he still loves me when
I'm smoking blunts
Loves me when I'm drinking too much
He loves me then, yeah
He loves me when I do what I want
He loves me, he doesn't judge me
Yes, he loves me
[Dialogue]
Now listen, brothers and sisters
When my soul is weary, I need peace
[Verse 2]
I don't need to know why
'Cause I know what love means
I don't need forgivin'
[Dialogue]
And I said to my friend who was visiting with me the other day

He ain't worried 'bout nothing
He ain't worried 'bout nothing
[Chorus]
I know he still loves me when
I'm smoking blunts
Loves me when I'm drinking too much
He loves me then, yeah
He loves me when I do what I want
He loves me, he doesn't judge me
Yes, he loves me
[Dialogue Outro]
