"The Preacher Man"

"The Preacher Man"

Where is the one who will care for the sheep   

For many today still slumber and sleep.

And how will they learn if there is no teacher  

For blessed are the feet of the gospel preacher.

How will they grow unless they are fed               

The words of truth and spirit led.

Day by day and year by year

Time ticks on and death draws near. 

      

Like fruit on the vine that’s left to perish

Who will teach them its life we cherish.

And how will they learn if there is no teacher

For blessed are the feet of the gospel preacher.

True, they seem few and far between .. Guess the sheep will become teachers ..

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. .. Isaiah 53:6
