ONE GOOD MAN

ONE GOOD MAN 

I KNEW A MAN HE LIVED HIS WHOLE LIFE IN THE LIGHT.                                                                         HE ALWAYS WALKED WITH GOD, EVERY DAY AND EVERY NIGHT.                                                   YOU SEE HE WAS A PREACHER, A TEACHER OF GODS’ WORD.                                                               I ASKED HIM WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE HIM AND THIS IS WHAT I HEARD.  

SO, YOU WANT TO BE AN APOSTLE, YOU WANT TO SPREAD THE WORD OF GOD?                            WELL, PAUL WAS THE FIRST, IT WAS HUNGER AND THIRST AND HE WAS BEATEN WITH A ROD.  YOU SEE IT’S NOT A CAREER BUT A CALLING YOU CAN’T REFUSE.                                                        IT’S NO FIELD OF CLOVER AND BEFORE IT’S OVER YOU GOT TO PAY YOUR DUES. 

HE HAD THAT LOOK OF PEACE AND WHEN THE TROUBLE WOULDN’T CEASE, HE TOOK IT ALL IN STRIDE.                                                                                                                                                               I KNEW HE WAS IN PAIN AND HE FELT THE STRAIN BUT HE KEPT IT ALL INSIDE.                                HE SAID THE LORD IS MY SHEPARD AND I SHALL NOT WANT OR FEAR.                                                THOUGH THIS WORLD MAY BETRAY ME AND THEY MIGHT TRY TO SLAY ME, STILL I HOLD THE LORD DEAR. 

SO, YOU WANT TO BE AN APOSTLE YOU WANT TO SPREAD THE WORD OF GOD?                           WELL, PAUL WAS THE FIRST, IT WAS HUNGER AND THIRST AND THEY BEAT HIM WITH A ROD. YOU SEE IT’S NOT A CAREER BUT A CALLING YOU CAN’T REFUSE.                                                           IT’S NO FIELD OF CLOVER AND BEFORE IT’S OVER YOU GOT TO PAY YOUR DUES. 

I TELL YOU WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS ONLY GOD KNOWS BUT I’M IN THIS TO THE END.                   I HAVE NO DOUBT, I WILL SCREAM AND SHOUT BECAUSE JESUS IS MY FRIEND.                                SO, PUT ME TO THE TEST WITH MY LAST BREATH I WILL SING PRAISES TO THE LORD.                        I PROMISE TO BE FERVANT AND BE YOU’RE FAITHFUL SERVANT WITH THEE I’M OF ONE ACCORD. 

SO, YOU SEE I’M AN APOSTLE MY WHOLE LIFE I SPREAD THE WORD OF GOD.                                    I KNOW PAUL WAS THE FIRST AND WE HUNGER AND THIRST, IF THEY NEED LET THEM BEAT ME WITH THIER ROD.                                                                                                                                             AND IT’S NOT A CAREER BUT A CALLING FROM WHICH I DID NOT RUN.                                              I’LL WALK IN FIELDS OF CLOVER WHENEVER IT’S ALL OVER, WITH THE FATHER AND THE SON.
