Written by Jean Banks, a Pastor's Wife

In honor of Dr. Jack Hyles

Pastor

Who is this man

We all follow after

He's leader of a holy band

And yet he's my own pastor.

Who is this man

We all long to hear

He's giver to an entire land

And yet he calms my deepest fear.

Who is this man

We all want to lead us

He' s a preacher ever so grand

And yet over my sin he surely makes a fuss.

Who is this man

We all honor and love

He's one striving to be the best he can

And yet his words come straight from above,

Who is this man

We all call Dr. Jack Hyles

He's one who lives in a mansion in glory land

And yet I see him today when a sinner walks the aisles.

Who is this man

We all miss with burning passion

He is above all, God's greatest fan

And yet he lived life in a most humble fashion.

Who is this man

We all miss more each day

He is one for sure who will take a firm stand

And yet he touches my heart in a most tender way.

Who is this man

We all know and admire

He's one who preaches God's Word wherever he can

And yet my own good deeds he seeks to inspire.

Who is this man

We all feel that we know

He's spoken to presidents of our own land

And yet his great love is for the man on skid row.

Who is this man

We all try so hard to explain

He's our hero ever so grand

And yet no words like his can ease our pain

Who is this man

We all will see again someday

He's the one who gave us the plan

And yet it took him to show us the way.

Who is this man

We all owe such a great debt

He's a special design from our master's own hand

And yet to me he says, "my loved one don't fret".

Who is this man

We all are so privileged to know

His strength the whole world did span
