“Tribute to a Godly Man
I knew a man who gave his life
To see revival fire
He prayed by day, he prayed by night
To birth this one desire
He had but one obsession
To see a glorious bride
Arrayed in spotless purity
Brought to her bridegroom's side
His power won in the pulpit
Was matched by very few
And yet, he loved the closet
There with the God he knew
While others strove for man's applause
For fortune or for fame
He had but one ambition
To exalt his master's name
For 87 years he lived
Just for eternity
A man of faith and wisdom
And true humility
He knew one day he'd have to stand
Before God's judgement seat
And so he ran to win the prize
His mission to complete
The fortune that he left behind
Was not in stocks or gold
But lives transformed and challenged
Their stories yet untold
There is no greater privilege
Than this that I have had
Knowing this great man of God
And having him as Dad
