Would You Be A Parson
Kate Campbell
When he was a baby
His mama held him close
And whispered to him closely
You're a special gift to us
The Lord has kept his promise
And one day I must too
Return this gift I cherish
And so I ask of you
Would you be a parson
And heed the father's call
Would you preach the Gospel
He's burned upon your heart
Would you tell the people
Of the greatest love of all
Would you be a parson
And heed the father's call
When he was a young man
The Lord called out his name
And there was only one path
He knew that he could take
And so he lived his whole life
In service to the Lord
True to the promise
He kept his mama's word
