And The Story Was Told
And the story was told,
of a man who lived his life well.
Started out life,
on the tough streets of Pittsburgh, PA.
School of hard knocks,
a reality, not just a phrase.
Then the real education began,
at an eternal and holy school.
Humbled before a Holy, Righteous God,
acknowledged his own sinful soul.
Received forgiveness,
Jesus Christ, the atonement for sin.
Learning life's lessons,
from the very Word of God.
Changed, transformed,
reflecting the light of our Lord.
Always found time,
to counsel a hurting, needful soul.
Wisdom, not his own,
but from the Holy Father above.
Direct from the pulpit,
a steady and penetrating gaze.
Proclaiming the gospel,
always, only, continually his aim.
Suffering and death,
a tool of salvation in the hands of a loving Father.
God, whose desire, His will,
that none should perish, but all come to repentance.
And the story was told,
of a man who live his life well.
Loved the Lord with all his heart, mind, soul and strength,
like unto it, he loved his fellow man.
