Little Country Preacher

Little country preacher with his head bowed down in prayer
I know that he's in conference with our Lord away up there
He's not high-toned with his speech, just plain like you and me
He reminds me of the prophets and the man from Galilee

He started out when just a lad to preach the gospel way
And when the path got hard to trod with mother, he would stay
The money does not bother him, for Christ, he took his stand
His pay-day will be paid to him at the gates of Glory-Land

Little country preacher with his head bowed down in prayer
I know that he's in conference with our Lord away up there
He's not high-toned with his speech, just plain like you and me
He reminds me of the prophets and the man from Galilee

The little church he preaches at each Sunday for our sake
If you pass it by and don't go in, you've made a big mistake
His good old-fashioned voice pleads with his stranger enter in
God's pleading through good men like him to save us from our sins

Little country preacher with his head bowed down in prayer
I know that he's in conference with our Lord away up there
He's not high-toned with his speech, just plain like you and me
He reminds me of the prophets and the man from Galilee

Little country preacher with his head bowed down in prayer
I know that he's in conference with our Lord away up there
He's not high-toned with his speech, just plain like you and me
He reminds me of the prophets and the man from Galilee
