Jeff Nemechek Poem

The McGuire Bend Church
The little church at McGuire Bend
Is full of all the love, our Lord can send.
The people there are sweet and kind
The type the Lord wants you to find.
This little church of brick and board,
Is a vessel of praise unto the Lord.
These humble walls can tell the story.
Of God's gracious love and mighty glory.
Down and on through many years,
The gospel's been preached to sinner's ears.
It's the word of God and when they hear it,
They're filled up with the Holy Spirit.
This little church so full of love,
Is a gracious gift from God Above.
He enters in and fills the place,
With loving kindness, and with grace.
In our hearts it is the best.
This little Church that God has blessed.
We give with gratitude and thanks to God
For this little church on this patch of sod.
This small band of Sisters and brothers,
Exhault Jesus' name above all others.
With a cup of coffee and a slice of pie,
They teach His Word and hold it high.
It's God's heart the people want to please
At this country Church among the trees.
So if you're down and out and need a friend,
Seek Him at McGuire Bend.
