~ A Tribute to Our Pastor ~ Grace has brought us, down through the years Through good times, bad times, And sometimes through tears. We are grateful that you talked with us, and walked us along the way Admonishing us to learn more about God s Word and teaching us to always pray. Your Leadership has been unstoppable, unmovable, Wise, knowledgeable, and Giving All these wonderful Attributes, makes life worth living You have a kind heart and you ve always been true That is why we respect all the things that you do. We have seen you grow spiritually in the Word From a very young Pastor to where you are now Always knowing that you would make it there, somehow. You have shown heartfelt sympathy, and reached out to us with the Word You have spoken very softly, Yet loud enough to be heard. You have taught us about the Year of Jubilee and how to Take Back what the Devil Stole From Me We see the Wisdom of Solomon, incarnated in you From the time you didn t buy tennis (Jordons) because it wasn t the right thing to do. We have come this Far by faith and we shall go on leaning on the Lord Lifting up our Man of God, and continuously praising God, all on one accord. ~Written by Deaconess JoAnn Childs ~ On Behalf of the Members of Second Mount Calvary Baptist Church
