Old Preacher Man Lyrics

The year's of abuse

Had taken their toll

My body giving up

And Hell had my soul

I was too dumb to listen

To an old preacher man

I've paid a huge price

My legs too weak to stand

My vision had faded

And I wanted to die

The only thing I had left

Were these tears in my eyes

My spirit was broken

Which in turn opened a door

Depression came knocking

He was there to take more

Then I remembered

That old preacher man

Who took me to church

In his old rusty white van

He preached about Jesus

He planted a seed

He knew that someday

That this man I would need

I fell on my face

On my living room floor

I had been wounded in battle

But I hadn't lost the war

I gained back my freedom

Even though my freedom was gone

I thank God for that preacher

Who gave me this song

I am no longer broken

I know that I'm free

I am now walking by faith

Even though I can't see

One day I'll be welcomed

By that old preacher man

In a place he called glory

Because that wad Gods plan

Dedicated to my grandfather.

The old preacher man

The years of abuse

Had taken their toll

My body givin' up

And Hell had my soul

I was too dumb to listen

To an old preacher man

I've paid a huge price

My legs too weak to stand

My vision had faded

And I wanted to die

The only thing I had left

Were these tears in my eyes

My spirit was broken

Which in turn opened a door

Depression came knockin'

He was there to take more

Then I remembered

That old preacher man

Who took me to church

In his ole rusty white van

He preached about Jesus

He planted a seed

He knew that someday

That this man I would need

I fell on my face

On my living room floor

I had been wounded in battle

But I hadn't lost the war

I gained back my freedom

Even though my freedom was gone

I thank God for that preacher

Who gave me this song

Then I remembered

That old preacher man

Who took me to church

In his ole rusty white van

He preached about Jesus

He planted a seed

He knew that someday

That this man I would need

The chains had been broken

The darkness withdrew

I saw a light shining

A path to renew

I cried out for mercy

My heart full of plea

In the depths of my sorrow

He came to rescue me

I am no longer broken

I know that I'm free

I am now walking by faith

Even though I can't see

One day I'll be welcomed

By that old preacher man

In a place he called Glory

Because that was God's plan

Then I remembered

That old preacher man

Who took me to church

In his old rusty white van

He preached about Jesus

He planted a seed

He knew that someday

That this man I would need

In the arms of the Savior

I'll find my true home

With that old preacher man

Where the angels roam

The lessons he taught me

Through struggles and pain

Have brought me redemption

In Heaven's refrain

Then I remembered

That old preacher man

Who took me to church

In his old rusty white van

He preached about Jesus

He planted a seed

He knew that someday

That this man I would need

In the arms of the Savior

I'll find my true home

With that old preacher man

Where the angels roam

The lessons he taught me

Through struggles and pain

Have brought me redemption

In Heaven's refrain

In the arms of the Savior

I'll find my true home

With that old preacher man

Where the angels roam

The lessons he taught me

Through struggles and pain

Have brought me redemption

In Heaven's refrain
