2. The man of God came up, took the pulpit
like he always did,
He had no oratory, but he spoke the word
with authority.
“Thus the Lord” he told the church,
“And that is where I take my stand.”
God needs such people once again.
GOD NEEDS SUCH PEOPLE

4. He was the voice of God, though he lived
among his fellow men,
Prayer was his power and the Bible His
authority
And though he spoke with firmness rare,
He had compassion on His face.
God needs such people once again.
