_ To a man and wife, three sons were [D] born.
On [A] the same day, a bright Sunday born, three boys with exactly the same chance [E] in life.
_ Their daddy was a wealthy man.
They'd no hunger or strife.
Their names were Carol, [D] Gerald, and Harold E.
[A] The years passed quickly, it seemed, for the three.
Carol studied law [E] with a bachelor's degree.
_ [A] He'd read law books till way in the night.
To be the world's greatest lawyer [D] was his goal in life.
_ [A] _ _
Gerald studied numbers.
He was like a machine.
[E] Adding, subtracting, multiplying, [A] accounting was his dream.
The books were untouched by the last of the three. _
[D] Just God's holy [A] Bible with interest Harold E.
_ But he'd read it and recite it in the study
[E] for days without eating or [A] sleeping, learning of God's ways.
The rest of the family would go to town, but [D] Harold E.
would stay [A] home and through the
woods and the fields he'd walk around.
They couldn't even get him to go to the [E] barber shop.
_ [A] Several months passed and his folks told him his foolishness was stopped, [D] that his hair
was a disgrace, [A] not to mention the beard that grew long on his face.
And at last they decided [E] that Harold E.
must leave home.
[A] Unlike Carol and Gerald, he had no business of his own and his [D] reputation was hurting
the family name, [A] _ the weird boy with the [D] beard, sandals, and the [A] bangs.
Six years passed.
No one knew where he [E] went.
_ Then the [A] county was told that a revival was coming in [A] the world's biggest tent. _ _
Why it seemed the whole county was there opening night, not one empty [D] seat.
When the missionary walked to the [A] pulpit, the crowd rose to their feet.
Everyone stared in shock and disbelief.
Whispers went through the [E] crowd.
I believe that's Harold E. _
The [A] missionary held a closed Bible in his hand, spoke with a voice [E] soft and kind, [D] _
and
[A] recited the book of Genesis, Matthew, [F#m] Mark, Luke, and John, [E] and Revelations, _ [A] line at a time.
Why it lasted for hours, _ but not [D] one left their seat.
_ [A] God's power had been given and delivered by Brother Harold E.
_ [E] _
_ [A] In the fourth row from the front sat his mother and dad and his two brothers and their wives.
[D] _
_ [A] He looked at them and smiled and said, God bless you for coming tonight.
_ Let [E] us pray.
_ [A] _ _ _
God, thank you for the books that give knowledge to men of science, fiction, figures, and laws
of the land.
_ But most of all, thank you for the book of life eternally, _ your holy Bible that you taught
every word to Harold E.
[F] Amen.
