I dedicate this to all the Pastors of all Churches, This Sunday is Pastor's appreciation day and I want to thank you for accepting the call of God upon your life. Being a minister is not an easy job. I know I have a minister's wife for many years and what affects the minister affects his wife and family.


 OBEDIENCE ANSWERED
By Myrtle Poor
 
There is a little Church sItting by a creek, 
 Union Baptist Church, is stately as can be.
Sending out its beckoning light
For all the light to see.
We know God's love is surely there
Just inside those walls,
As the spirit reaches out to us,
You can hear the mighty call.
 
Bro. Royce like Ole Moses
Was the leader of our clan
Then there was Bro. Matthew
He was second in command.
Now  these two preachers
They were neither young or old,
But when it comes to preaching
They were mighty bold.
 
As they preach hell-fire and brimstone
We can feel it singe your hair.
And when they preach, the love of heaven
You can see St. Peter standing there.
We their followers never bought new shoes
Why  should we when they walk upon our toes.
We really think they hates us
When they preach about our clothes.
 
Sometimes when they are preaching
We wish we had not come,
We wonder in our minds
Who  told them what we've done
We thought these things were secret
And no one else would know,
But someone had to tell them
Was the someone you?
 
Now if we don't go to heaven
Its because we didn't listen well
For those two men of God
Told us of the fiery of darts hell.
You can go there if you want to,
But I am going the other way
I want to be with them in
 day.

A great call to obedience. The number one thing the church needs, for obedience and love are one and the same really. Great work
