The Preacher's Twins
A young Georgia preacher had two beautiful twin girls.
He was at Lee College, and on top of the world.
He knelt and thanked God for them in his small place,
And he made a plea to God to keep them in His divine grace.
The girls were raised in church and Sunday school,
And tempted the devil like a sparkling jewel.
Shielded from sin and the dark side of life,
He decided to ply them with grief and strife.
If anyone made it to Heaven, the preacher would.
The twins hoped to get in on his coattail if they were good.
Choices were made, and destiny was shaken,
And for a time they both felt lost and forsaken.
But long ago God heard the Preacher’s humble cry,
And it was as if God let out a long, loving sigh.
An angel was assigned to each on the day of their birth,
To protect and give comfort on this cruel earth.
The girls will always be known as the “Preacher’s twins,”
And we are proud to say that Preacher is our next of kin.
It is true that Preacher’s kids are a chosen few,
But you can’t make it to heaven by sitting on the pews.
