"My Dad Is A Preacher Man"
“My Dad Is a Preacher Man”
by Nicholas C. Zoller
My dad is a preacher man
Spreadin’ the Gospel across this land
He knows the Lord
Oh, he’s got a plan
He’s a preacher man
There he is, in the pulpit
Preachin’ the Word for the people to hear
He gives the sense and the meaning
He’s talkin’ ‘bout a God who inspires our fear
Will they listen to his message?
Will they put it into practice in their lives?
Jesus is calling them to follow
Will they turn from sin and never die?
My dad is a preacher man
Spreadin’ the Gospel across this land
He knows the Lord
Oh, he’s got a plan
He’s a preacher man
There he is, at the altar
Blessing the cup and the bread
He lifts his hands up to Heaven
Recalling the words that Jesus said
Then the people, they come forward
With open hearts and open hands
They seek healing and forgiveness
Every woman and every man
My dad is a preacher man
Spreadin’ the Gospel across this land
He knows the Lord
Oh, he’s got a plan
He’s a preacher man
There he is, at the bedside
Talking to a widow who lives alone
She talks about her son and daughter
They want to put her in a nursing home
Dad listens with compassion
He wants to heal her, make her whole
He gives her words of comfort
‘Cause he knows the Shepherd of her soul
My dad is a preacher man
Spreadin’ the Gospel across this land
He knows the Lord
Oh, he’s got a plan
He’s a preacher man
There he is, in the car now
Just where is he going today?
Is he going to a meeting?
Or to see a man who needs him to pray?
Is he going to the hospital
To see a new baby with her mom and dad?
Is he going to a graveyard
To comfort people who are feeling sad?
My dad is a preacher man
Spreadin’ the Gospel across this land
He knows the Lord
Oh, he’s got a plan
He’s a preacher man
There he is, at the table
Leading his family in saying grace
He thanks God for the food there
He shows them how to live out their faith
He tells his wife he’ll always love her
She’s the most beautiful woman he knows
They raise their sons to love their Jesus
Their love for each other just grows and grows
My dad is a preacher man
Spreadin’ the Gospel across this land
He knows the Lord
Oh, he’s got a plan
He’s a preacher man
