Honoring God's Anointed

We often hear of the changes
That takes place in the churches of today
Where the morals and the values we held on to
Are constantly eroding away

A few adulterers
Are filling the pulpits worldwide
How it must grieve the heart of our Lord
As His standards are all pushed aside

But yet, still there remain many pastors
Who are not swayed to fit in with the few
They bring forth God's Word with all boldness
And are willing to withstand any test

They're not ashamed to uphold ALL God's truths
No matter how unpopular they may be
For they know we must adhere to EACH scripture,
And obey His commands faithfully

I'm so thankful that I have such a pastor
Who will stand and preach what we must hear
His desire is to reach all those listening
That we may grow and to God's presence draw near

I appreciate his hard work and dedication
Teaching us to walk the straight and narrow way
May God bless him for his steadfast commitment
To the Lord and to His people everyday
