When the news came today, Tho I refused to accept
\nTrue it was, You took a good man home while he slept.
\nWhile your plans, I could never doubt; I can only guess
\nYou needed some help up there with some big mess.
\nBut the one you called meant a lot to me and many, many more.
\nIn fact, he’s the reason I darkened your temple door,
\nThis Sunday and many Sunday’s before.
\nThe temple wasn’t much if you were looking for dressy,
\nAnd the flock wasn’t either, all sorts of messy
\nBut they came and heard and left believing
\nThat a better life was theirs just for receiving
\nGod’s love and all his blessings,
\nFrom a man who lived it, not just window dressings
\nHe’s walked a mile and back in many men’s shoes
\nSometimes carrying them and their blues.
\nAnd “Everyone Welcome” meant what it said,
\nOnly perfect people need lightly tread.
\nSo, when I’m on my knees, and things are looking grave
\nI know you’re busy with all those other souls to save.
\nI won’t be offended, if you’ll just let me talk to Dave.<\/p>\n
