Lyrics
The Preacher
By Ray William Roldan

The sun comes up in the mornin'
frost rides in on the wind!
Winter bites at my finger tips
another day begins!
I've got Gods chore ahead of me
a few more acres of life still left to plow
And these children they're all askin' me
Father! Whats ahead of us all now!
Now they taught me right from the good book
I learnt it all as a child
And tested all of them passages
while on the streets runnin' wild,
runnin' wild, Yeah on them streets
runnin' wild!
yeah I tested all of them passages
as a child on them streets a runnin' wild.
Now I ain't got a pulpit,
a pretty church or a choir,
but I got rows of Gods golden corn
and I watch 'em grow higher and higher!
And some say I'm a no count preacher
cause i speak from my back porch!
But i know the Word will light up the soul
like a spark to a karosene torch!
Instrumental:
Now I don't know all them pretty words
I can hardly read, spell or write!
But I know the lessons I've learned bout life
get me through the darkest of nites
The darkest of nites.
Yeah I know the lessons I've learnd bout life
get me through the darkest of nites!
The sun comes up in the mornin'
the frost rides in on the wind,
The vwinter bites at my finger tips
and another day begins!
Thank you Lord!!
