Pastor Bert here on the phone
You're the first one on the prayer chain
And I'd like to make it known
That I'm studying for Sunday
But I'm fighting off a cold
So could you please call Paul?
talking to you on the phone
You're the second on the prayer chain
and I'd like to make it known
Pastor Bird is stuck home studying,
So could you please tell Mel?
who is giving you this call,
you're the third one on the prayer train
and we have to tell them all
that the pastor's sick and tired of
being stuck at home again,
he's been locked up in his study
and those walls are closing in,
he needs to get away, oh no,
so could you please inform
and I hope you're doing swell.
and I have something to tell.
There's this man who's always pastored,
I don't think I should say who,
and leaving his unknowing church,
This man is very troubled,
and his house is caving in,
Hello Kate, this is Norm,
and I've something to inform.
You're the fifth one on the prayer chain,
and we're praying up a storm.
There's a guy who's always plastered,
and I think his name is Lou.
His house is falling down,
it's very sad but very true.
He is leaving town for good,
and he's sick and tired of life.
I would wish that I was far away
if I was that man's wife.
Well, the chain already knows this,
but I think the time has come for you
to please alert Pastor Burt.
Hello, Burt, this is Kate,
and I hope I'm not too late.
You're not part of the prayer chain,
but this news just cannot wait.
There's a man whose name is Stuart,
and it must be Stuart Brown,
Because he is the only Stuart
who lives anywhere near town.
He is in a drunken stupor
and his house is burning down
And to make this matters worse,
his wife and children can't be found
This is such a desperate story
that I didn't know what to do
Many thanks for the alert
You know I called the chain this morning
Cause my throat just slightly hurt
But this has given me perspective
on how blessed I really am
I will call the fire department
I'd like all those on the prayer chain
to come meet me at his home
So could you please phone Joe?
