The Clergyman, Cameraman and Congregation

THE CLERGYMAN, CAMERAMAN & CONGREGATION With booming praise and heavenly devotion, There stood a powerful pastor, full of divine emotion. In a realm of faith, where spirits thrive, The pastor strive to keep bodies & souls alive.4 His words flowed like rivers, reaching every heart, His sermon sets their doubt & faith apart. The pastor raised his hands, his voice fright, A light from nowhere descends & shines bright.8 In anointing's strength and knowledge deep, The cameraman, the secret, does he keep. Through sacred halls and sermons grand, The pastor wields his anointed hand,¹² A scholar of scriptures, steeped in grace, But the cameraman holds a different place. Except the cameraman,the congregation all fell, Uncontrollably under the anointing like a spell.¹6 The cameraman, with steady eyes & lens in hand, Captures every move & the pastor's command. No matter the degree the pastor may possess, The cameraman's role, the souls to impress.²° For he captures the essence, the vibrant display, The show of faith & piety every service day, Through lens, he tells the stories untold, Moments of awe, and stories of old.²4 No matter the degree the pastor may claim, The cameraman's art is never the same, He sees through angles, and frames the light, Creating a vision, vivid and so bright.²8 The pastor may heal, with hands anointed, But the cameraman's touch makes souls enlightened, For in every shot, a message holds, A story of faith, that beautifully unfolds.³² No matter the synagogues strengths glow, The pastor, cameraman & congregation plays a vital role, In spreading the message, both near & far, Captivating our hearts like a guiding star.³6 No matter the degree a pastor has in anointing, The cameraman never falls for anything.
