In honor of my Dad, Rev. Lewis Lake (1910 -1997) Who loved and served God as a faithful Pastor for 60 years. I remember as I was growing up that my Dad would answer the phone and I would hear him say … What can I do to help you? His example taught me that if you truly loved God, you would also love people and seek to be of help and encouragement. What a wonderful legacy of love he left not only to me but to us all! I thank the Lord for good old Dad And what he meant to me The great times and the bond we had Still flood my memory I think of things he said to me Like “Seek The Father’s face” Or “You can live eternally because of saving grace” He took an hour every day To call upon the Lord I saw God work as Dad would pray Each answer was reward He sacrificed at every turn His will and his own plans For in his heart a fire did burn To follow God’s commands He held the hands of dying folks And helped each soul in need The fearful he would gently coax To trust God’s word indeed I never heard him swear or cuss Or take God’s name in vain He brought out good in all of us His words were clear and plain He walked the walk and talked the talk He modeled what was right He leaned on Christ, The Solid Rock He lifted up The Light He blessed my life in every way In all I’m thinking of And though he’s gone, one thing will stay His Legacy Of Love !!! © Jim Lake Website
