my pastors


 

I was just thinking today,
as I read God's word,
About all the sermos,
through the year, I have heard.
 
Now don't get me wrong,
they haven't all sunk in;
But I'm sure some of them
have kept me from sin!
 
Hell fire and brimstoen,
sometimes the flames were hot enough to feel;
Other times they preached and made us feel Jesus,
so close, so real.
 
I wanted to let my Pastors know, for me,
their labor was not in vain!
I want them to know I'm still believing,
still praying in Jesus' name.
 
Thanks for not just the words you have spoken,
but the life you live;
The deeds I have seen you do,
the gifts I have seen you give.
 
For being a living example that the Word is alive; 
God's still on the throne;
For living above sin, for not just teaching,
but showing right from wrong.
 
Live on, live on for Jesus, my Pastors,
my friends, one and all;
Thank you for listening,
for answering the Divine call.
 
I know the steps for you are not always easy,
at times you stumble, too;
But that's the times that I get the honor
of being able to pray for you!
