Thank God For The Preacher Lyrics - Singles - The Crabb Family

Verse I 

As I walk down the street of a sin-stricken city 

I see the misfortunes of men 

A man in the gutter lying there lifeless 

Clutching a bottle in hand 

He was some mother's darling 

Maybe some young man's father 

But, now he's a prisoner to sin 

No hugs in the morning and no family altar 

He's gets by the best way he can 

Chorus 

, who told me of Jesus 

For I'd be a beggar if not for his grace 

Lord help me show others, your love and your mercy 

Make my life a witness to others I pray 

Verse II 

At a little white church house at an old tear stained altar 

A prayer for god's mercy was heard 

Though his sins were many and his burdens heavy 

He took the Lord at his word 

The angels rejoiced as he was forgiven 

Shouts filled the temple that day 

I will never get over that trip to the altar for I was that sinner who prayed
