Big Piney
A couple of Saturdays ago I remember,
A rather warm day in early September.
A young man in our church and us had just decided,
We wanted to be baptized. Were we excited!
My husband and I crawled in the truck bed
How rough a ride! Oh what a dread!
When we finally got to our destination,
It felt just like I was on vacation.
Good food, good company what else would be,
From such a great church family?
We ate and laughter all filled the woods,
Nobody was critical with the shouldn’t and should’s
A couple hours later, when we got through eatin’
We went to the river side for a meetin’
The water was cold from the mountains flowing
I chilled you to the bone, but it was just the knowing.
Such a great time with the church had we,
That September day at a river called Big Piney!
