Bruce Carroll - I'd Rather See a Sermon lyrics

I'd see him go to church almost every sunday He had invited me to go a time or two made no bones about the fact that he was a christian And he seemed to know I was looking for some truth Never looked at me with eyes of condemnation though he knew I was uneasy when he pray he was always there to lend a hand and when he did he'd always say that the good Lord and his blessing are what made him act that way I'd rather see a sermon than to hear one anyday I'd rather one would walk with me than merely show the way Actions speak much louder than all the words can say That's why I'd rather see a sermon than hear one anyday There were times that I would see him from a distance and he didn't knw that I was watching him he always took the time to love his children and he treated his wife like his best friend I got the call two weeks ago this monday that the job I had ten years was at the end he was the first to call and show p on my doorstep and he said that he would be there till we got on our feet again I'd rather see a sermon than to hear one anyday I'd rather one would walk with me than merely show the way Actions speak much louder than all the words can say That's why I'd rather see a sermon than hear one anyday I never was much for religon too many double-standard people let me down but the message this man lived was very simple he showed me what I needed and he was there when I let Jesus turn my life around I'd rather see a sermon than to hear one anyday I'd rather one would walk with me than merely show the way Actions speak much louder than all the words can say That's why I'd rather see a sermon than hear one anyday That's why I'd rather see a sermon than hear one anyday
