A Great Man

A GREAT MAN

A great man standing for the faith,
Who stood so tall and bold,
A man who never compromised
With anything he told.
A man who knew the power of God
To save a sinful man
And change his life to make it count
In God's eternal plan.
He had a vision that today
Has made such great impact,
With CSO and CLA,
That's such an awesome fact.
We'll miss this man of God, I know,
But thankful for the day
When once again we see his face
And dwell with him for aye.
