Little country preacher
with his head
bowed down in prayer
I know that he's in conference
with our Lord
way up there
He's not at home with his speech
just plain like you and me
He reminds me of the prophets
and the man from Ga lilee
He started out when just a lad
to preach the gospel way
And when the paths got hard to trod
with mother he would stay
The money does not bother him
for Christ he takes his stand
His payday will be paid to him
at the gates of glory land
Little country preacher with his head
bowed down in prayer
I know that he's in conference
with our Lord
way up there
He's not high -toned with his speech
just plain like you and me
He reminds me of the prophets
and the man from Galilee
The little church
he preaches at each Sunday for our sake
If you pass it by and don't go in,
you've made a big mistake
His good old -fashioned voice
pleads with you,
stranger enter in God's pleading
through good men like him
to save us from our sin
Little country preacher with his head
bowed down in prayer
I know that he's in conference
with our Lord
way up there
He's not at home with his speech
just plain like you and me
He reminds me of the prophets
and the man from Galilee
