This is a song we are using with the permission of Pastor Tom Trimble from Missouri. Pastor Trimble originally wrote this as a jazzy sounding song. The McGruders took it and let Brother Stan Cook sing it about the way I do. We thought it needed to be longer and rockier, so now it is! Hope you like it; this is the November 2004 recording. Enjoy!

Oh, well I went to visit a Church, and it was quiet as it could be,
Nobody there was shoutin' Praise the Lord, nobody but me!
They looked at me like I was too emotional
They almost made me feel out of place,
But when I go to Church I don't just come there to take up space

I'm just warmin' up
I'm just warmin' up
I'm just warmin' up
For that meeting in the sky
So if you think I'm a little bit strange
Don't hang around and wait for me to change
'Cause I'm just warmin' up
I'm just warmin' up
I'm just warmin' up
For that meeting in the sky

Now, when I reach those pearly gates
And the gates swing open wide
Don't you know I'm gonna leap for joy
'Cause I've reached the other side
All my pain and sorrow
From down here I will forget
And if you think I shout down here, man
You ain't seen nothin' yet

Because I'm just warmin' up......
