What I Wanted To Be When I Was a Child

I can't remember what I was eating
Was if beef, chicken, or ham
I do remember seeing the meeting
On T.V. I saw Mr. Billy Graham
As I listened to his preaching
Something inside me started to change
He was giving such a good teaching
That my mind was coming into range
That was when I decided that I to would speak
To stand before a congregation all brave
I knew I couldn't be one who was weak
If I was to help others come and get saved
I knew I would have to studied every night
If I was to help other come to God's light
