Reception Improving (testimony)
Doug Blair 1951 (London)
Am I getting through?
You must hear this
Or so I think.
Take a long drink
Of the Good Stuff
Have not heard enough
About Him.
The One I like to call
My valiant Elder Brother.
Big Guy, and wise.
Hardened to the elements.
Always picture Him
In the thirties age group.
Leading a small troop
Of simple men.
Coming up born again.
Their foulups removed
And loyalties proved
In things of anguish, challenge
And unthinkable Victories.
They might have called Him
Shepherd
Rabbi
Prophet
Light of the World
True Vine
Living Waters.
Resurrection and Life
Spotless Lamb slaughtered.
But I still like
Elder Brother the best.
