We’ve lost a true Servant of God. RIP Rev. Jack Day. This is a tribute to him.
A Servant of God
He played the bass and fiddle and the mandolin
But he found his calling was preaching against sin
In a little country church set beneath old oaks
For generations he has preached to common country folks
A place that’s reminiscent of a time that’s slower pace
Where they still join in amen and sing “Amazing Grace”
He led by following the Bible, many souls were reached
He truly was a man of God and practiced what he preached
He visited sick and shut-ins, and those without a friend
He was there to preach their funerals and served them till the end.
His favorite verse was John 3:17, he lived his life for Christ
The love he showed his neighbors, came without a price
He’s led so many souls to Christ, some now beneath the sod
This dedicated Christian man, humbly served his God
Our world’s a little sadder but Heaven’s shining bright
Jack has received his wings and his soul has taken flight
The gates of Heaven opened, God said, welcome home my son
My good and faithful servant your work on earth is done
