The preacher man he takes a stand he has a Bible in his hand
He chases after God above and teaches people how to love
But sometimes God is hard to find and people make him lose his mind
Still he must keep that Holy link to God above or he will sink
Beneath the care of all the folk who put on him a heavy yoke
The people used to say "he's great" but lately say he's made mistakes
"The Church is cold" "The Church is hot" "Someone's sitting in my spot"
"He preaches short" "He preaches long" "He got that passage totally wrong"
But let a tragedy befall and he's the first one people call
He'll hold a hand, say a pray, and quote God's word to lift despair
And then they'll say he's good again because he came when they needed him
But the preacher man he takes a stand, he has a Bible in his hand
He chases after God above and teaches people how to love
And sometimes God is shining bright and all the world seems filled with light
The preacher knows his work has worth when sinners come for second birth
So preacher man keep that Holy link to God above or we will sink
For we are fragile pots of clay, we need God's mercies every day
You will teach us how to love and how to chase the God above
And teach us how to take a stand and hold a Bible in our hand
So thank you weary preacher man for doing everything you can
And if we don't show our gratitude forgive us for our attitude
Your real reward in Heaven waits soon after entering those gates
The voice of God whom you have chased will find you in that blessed place
A "good and faithful servant true" is what your God will say to you
You will know you passed your test then enter in to His sweet rest.
