Mister Preacher Man

Dear Mister Preacher man
don’t teach my children fear.
Sermons of hellish fire,
What is this farce I hear?

You say God is jealous,
So angry, to condemn
His own precious children
to burn in hell for sin.

You did not heed the One
that set the teaching true.
God’s one and only Son,
the gift He gave to you.

Why worship now His death
by ignorant, maddened throng,
discarding His sweet words
that taught us right from wrong?

He asked you to Love God
with your heart, mind and soul,
and to love one another,
now that should be your goal.

Love your enemies, doing
good to them that wrong.
Go pace that second mile,
give love as you walk along.

Give service unto others
so you be fully blessed.
Help the poor, the homeless,
walk the path He professed.

Forgive those that harm you,
do not judge nor condemn.
Treat others as you would like
to be treated by them.

Now Mister Preacher man
what don’t you understand.
The Son said: “teach love” to
each woman, child, and man.

Please Mister Preacher man
don’t teach my children fear.
Give them the words of love,
that they may hold them dear.
