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
