The Preacher

The Preacher The Preacher Among the most respect & admiration Long our the days we lived in celebration To say a pray in the dark has come to the fullest light As in a caged fury to continue on in the fight To live in solace onto the day we must all meet This power comes not from the world but above In the vision of the evening and morning was told & true To look into your congregations eyes comes a surprise The day we bask in the allegiance of the Lord Heavy hearts meet in the seats with eyes all a glow Set a mark among the door that rings heavy with a bell The preacher must meet with widows & newly married one's To daily prepare a sermon for the hearers every Sunday The prayer must be heard by thy servand and his supplications For we do not submit our supplications onto thee but onto the holy Touch the heart of the servant with whom he has to do Perhaps he has bitten off far more then he could chew Yet God's ways are not our ways nor his thoughts our thoughts Carry the burden turned into the love to share his message Merciful one take this chip off his shoulder Stop the abortion on demand when will they understand God is with him through his struggles in life amidst the strife The preacher has a calling when will we ever understand
