Words and serving what you doAction
I'd rather see a sermon
than hear one any day
i'd rather one should walk with me
than merely point the way
the eye's a better pupil
and more willing than the ear
fine counsel is confusing but example is always clear
and the best of all the preachers
are those who live their creed
for to see the good in action
is what everybody needs
i can soon learn how to do it
if you let me see it done
i can watch your hands in action
but your tongue may too fast run
and the lectures you deliver
may be very wise and true,
bit i'd rather get my learning
