Just One Dollar
I'VE WRITTEN MANY POEMS ABOUT THIS SPECIAL CHURCH YOU SEE
BUT DO YOU REMEMBER THE STORY THAT WAS TOLD TO YOU AND ME
HOW COLONEL HICKMAN OWNED THIS LAND UPON THE HILL
AND HOW HE DECIDED TO DONATE IT AND NOT LEAVE IT IN HIS WILL
MANY PEOPLE WERE INTERVIEWED AND SEVERAL YEARS WENT BY
THE LAND ON THE HILL REMAINED EMPTY FACING THE SKY
THE VIEW FROM THE TOP IS BREATHTAKING AS CAN BE
AND JESUS HAD DECIDED IT WAS MEANT FOR CALVARY
ONE DAY THE COLONEL CALLED PASTOR BOB AND THEN
HE SAID "GIVE JUST ONE DOLLAR" THAT WILL SEAL THE DEED AGAIN
BUILD YOUR CHURCH UPON THIS HILL FOR EVERYONE TO SEE
THEN I WILL KNOW I GAVE IT TO THE ONES THAT WAS MEANT TO BE
I KNOW THE LORD IS WITH US IN THIS CHURCH DAY BY DAY
THAT'S WHY HE SELECTED THIS LAND FOR THE CHURCH OF CALVARY
JUST LIKE HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE IN THE BIBLE YOU SEE
THE LORD WILL ALWAYS BE THERE TO WELCOME YOU AND ME
