General John Gowans (R) is a poet and song writer and many of us have enjoyed reading his poems and singing his songs. Here's one of his poems I would like to share with you.
INCONSISTENCY
He preaches like an angel,
Golden voiced!
Before he's through
The driest eye is moist.
He woos and wins
The hardest heart
To you,
And in the pulpit
He's a giant, true!
But when he climbs down
From that vaulted place,
His attitudes wear
Quite a diff'rent face!
He's cold and distant,
Doesn't seem to care
How we are faring,
Hasn't time to spare.
His ways deny
The very truth he teaches.
Lord, help the man
To practise
What he preaches. (John Gowans)
