I`d Rather See A Sermon Lyrics

I`d Rather See A Sermon lyrics

I'd see him go to church almost every sunday

He had invited me to go a time or two

made no bones about the fact that he was a christian

And he seemed to know I was looking for some truth



Never looked at me with eyes of condemnation

though he knew I was uneasy when he pray

he was always there to lend a hand 

and when he did he'd always say

that the good Lord and his blessing 

are what made him act that way



I'd rather see a sermon 

than to hear one anyday

I'd rather one would walk with me

than merely show the way

Actions speak much louder

than all the words can say

That's why I'd rather see a sermon

than hear one anyday



There were times that I would see him from a distance

and he didn't knw that I was watching him

he always took the time to love his children

and he treated his wife like his best friend



I got the call two weeks ago this monday

that the job I had ten years was at the end

he was the first to call and show p on my doorstep

and he said that he would be there

till we got on our feet again



I'd rather see a sermon 

than to hear one anyday

I'd rather one would walk with me

than merely show the way

Actions speak much louder

than all the words can say

That's why I'd rather see a sermon

than hear one anyday



I never was much for religon

too many double-standard people let me down

but the message this man lived was very simple

he showed me what I needed 

and he was there when I let Jesus

turn my life around



I'd rather see a sermon 

than to hear one anyday

I'd rather one would walk with me

than merely show the way

Actions speak much louder

than all the words can say

That's why I'd rather see a sermon

than hear one anyday



That's why I'd rather see a sermon

than hear one anyday
