GOSPEL PREACHERS

 
Today, when they came to the door
There seemed to be the element of hurry
It didn’t matter much at all to me as
I was just up and kind of blurry
 
Willing to listen, I gave them my all
They walked in and followed me
I walked down the hall to grab some clothes
So I could finish dressing
 
They took no mind and kept on talking
And seemed all right with my attention
They went on with the good news and
Not a thing did they forget to mention
 
At least that is the way I saw it
And then they were ready to go
But I asked a serious question and
I thought that would make them slow
 
But they were already out the door
I followed them out into the mild winter
And really felt like talking
Let them know I was no quitter 
 
One looked at his watch, then got in the car
They had another meeting and had to leave town
I walked over and leaned on the window
Told them I hoped I hadn't let them down
 
They commented on the weather
Said goodbye and were gone
First time they ever kept track of the time
Their time not mine and with a frown
