Would You Be A Parson - Kate Campbell

When he was a baby\nHis mama held him close\nAnd whispered to him closely\nYou’re a special gift to us\nThe Lord has kept his promise\nAnd one day I must too\nReturn this gift I cherish\nAnd so I ask of you\nWould you be a parson\nAnd heed the father’s call\nWould you preach the Gospel\nHe’s burned upon your heart\nWould you tell the people\nOf the greatest love of all\nWould you be a parson\nAnd heed the father’s call\nWhen he was a young man\nThe Lord called out his name\nAnd there was only one path\nHe knew that he could take\nAnd so he lived his whole life\nIn service to the Lord\nTrue to the promise\nHe kept his mama’s word
