SINGING IN THE HEAVENLY CHOIR

THERE WAS A LITTLE CHURCH - SITTIN’ DOWN IN THE WOODS
AND AT THIS CHURCH – THEY HAD A CHOIR THERE - AND THEY COULD SING REAL WELL;

AND, THERE WAS AN OLD DEACON THERE, HAD BEEN GOING TO THAT CHURCH FOR A MIGHTY LONG TIME, AND EVERY - SUNDAY MORNING - HE WOULD ALWAYS BEG THAT CHOIR DIRECTOR - “SAID LISTEN - WOULD YOU LET ME SING A SONG? - HE SAID I GOT A SONG THAT I WANT TO SING.”

BUT, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT CHOIR DIRECTOR TOLD HIM? HE SAID, “OLD MAN, YOU TOO OLD TO SING IN THIS CHOIR; HE SAY, YOU GOT A TREMBLING IN YOUR VOICE.” LOOKA HEAR - HURT THE OLD MAN’S FEELINGS

AND YA’LL MIGHT NOT BELIEVE IT BUT - WHEN YOU GET OLD - WON’T FOLKS DO YOU LIKE THAT? WHEN YOU GET OLD - PEOPLE”LL JUST - PUSH YOU ON ASIDE - BUT THEY WENT TO CHURCH THAT NEXT SUNDAY MORNING - AND THEY NOTICED THAT THE OLD MAN WASN’T SITTING IN THE CORNER
