A big man with a big voice
he rattled the rafters on Sunday mornings
til I thought Jesus would come down from the cross
I bowed my head in embarrassment for him
and for my ten year old self
who wanted to jump up beside him and sing
How great thou art / How great thou art
Nice one Teresa. "How Great Thou Art" is my favorite spiritual song. No one did it better than Elvis.
ReplyDeleteI love that song and right after I wrote this, I spent some time driving and singing it wholeheartedly ... would love to hear that man sing it again ... no embarrassment at all ...
ReplyDeleteYes, Elvis did a great version...
Wonderful moments, and powerful words here, the best, no doubt, "he rattled the rafters on sunday mornings til I thought jesus would come down from the cross"! Wow!
ReplyDeleteI have to say, I had fun writing this.
DeleteThanks, Nancy. :)
