DADDY HAD A LITTLE BOY

Daddy had a little boy-

His soul was white as snow;

He never went to Bible class

Cause Daddy wouldn’t go.

He never heard the Word of God

That thrills the childish mind-

While other children went to class,

This child was left behind.

As he grew from babe to youth,

Dad saw to his dismay,

A soul that once was snowy white

Became a dingy gray.

Dad even started back to church

And Bible study, too;

He begged the preacher,

“Isn’t there a thing that I can do?”

The preacher tried and tried, and said,

“We’re just too far behind;

I tried to tell you years ago,

But you would pay no mind.”

And so another soul was lost,

That once was white as snow;

Bible study would have helped,

But Daddy wouldn’t go.
