Moving Day
by Bryan Miles

A moving van pulled up one day
To take the pastor's things away,
Many things the pastor loved
Were packed and pushed, pulled and shoved;
Bibles, journals, devotionals and books
In all the cranny's, and all the crooks;
Everything the pastor had
The congregation was very sad,
Pastor Peterson had passed away!
A very moving, moving day!

But, Pastor's life was not a loss
He always followed the way of the cross;
He taught the congregation to give
The only way, a man must live;
They clothed the needy, and fed the poor
Their church was always an open door;
An open door, for any need
A very giving church, indeed!

So, they were not surprised at all
Their pastor's heart, was never small;
And so he willed, the day he died
That a moving van, should pull outside
Take all he had, and give it away!
A very moving, moving day!

The congregation stood in awe
They lived their lives, and the pastor saw;
The pastor saw their hearts take heed
They gave away, when they saw a need;
And so, the pastor died in peace
Rewarded in heaven, to say the least!
For everything, we store away
We can't take with us, on Judgment Day!
The greatest thing, we leave behind
Is a hidden treasure, of another kind;
The hidden treasure, in our heart
That tells the world, we did our part!

We did our part, all part of God's plan
So, let them pack the moving van!
A true disciple, moves out of the way!
A very moving, moving day...
