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
