The Preacher's Flame

*(Verse 1)* He walked with a Bible, heart full of grace, A husband, a father, with love in his face. A daughter of three, a son one year old, His faith was his fire, his truth was bold. On campus stages, he’d debate and defend, Science and faith, he’d blend to the end. *(Chorus)* Oh, the preacher’s flame, it burns so bright, Lights up the darkness, cuts through the night. A sniper’s shot stole his breath away, But his spirit rises, it won’t fade today. *(Verse 2)* He kissed his kids goodnight, then preached with might, Challenged the wise with truth in his sight. No fear in his heart, he stood tall and strong, His hope and his love kept carrying on. *(Chorus)* Oh, the preacher’s flame, it burns so bright, Lights up the darkness, cuts through the night. A sniper’s shot stole his breath away, But his spirit rises, it won’t fade today. *(Bridge)* Before his wife and kids, he fell to the ground, Yet from his death, a movement was found. His voice echoes on in the hearts that believe, A legacy of faith that will never leave. *(Outro)* His children will grow, his song will stay strong, The preacher’s flame will forever burn on.
