A Preacher Wanders by Dayvid Graybill Wednesday, October 06, 2010 Rated "PG13" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan
A Preacher Wanders Waiting for the sermon to begin What might I have to say? Sunday morning coming down The people gather to pray Twenty years in the pulpit And I still get nervous as hell Why do they come to listen? For some, not all is well I dread the Sunday morning When my words are all gone And I open my mouth to preach And my mind doesn’t turn on Will they sit in silence When my words run out? What if I lost my thoughts And the deacons began to shout? But today the words kept coming And the people smiled and prayed A candle spilled wax on the cloth Just another rogue Sunday 2010 © Dayvid Graybill

Reviewed by Christine Tsen	10/7/2010

So creative ~ Well I bet you are very comforting, and down to earth, and not all full of pomp like some of them are. I'd love to see you preach! I get nervous before performing too, after years and years, it's just part of the getting up I suppose. Ever, Christine




Reviewed by larry linville	10/7/2010

Dayvid, I've spent 50 years in the pulpit and feel you message. Wish we lived closer and could set and talk about the"call" which we can't escape even though we want to at times.
