Country Preacher

He was raised in Memphis, an orphan boy
A southern family’s adopted joy
He found Jesus at an altar call
The singers sang "I Surrender All"

He got married and they moved out West
To preach the gospel in their Sunday best
He loaded his pickup truck with revival tents
And the Good News followed them wherever they went

He’s a country preacher, knows his Bible well
His sermons shake the vеry walls of Hell
You will not find him on your TV
He follows Jesus most humbly

No fancy building, just an old grangе hall
And an upright piano bouncing off the walls
The folks would gather from all over town
Singing “I once was lost, but now I’m found”

He’s a country preacher, knows his Bible well
His sermons shake the very walls of Hell
You will not find him on your TV
He follows Jesus most humbly

The crowds were small, he knew all their names
And when he preached, well some of them got saved
And when he’s taken to his home on high
There’s a small town crowd waiting on the other side

He’s a country preacher, knows his Bible well
His sermons shake the very walls of Hell
You will not find him on your TV
He follows Jesus most humbly
