Would You Be A Parson Lyrics

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
