Trouble in the Amen Corner - Jim Reeves (吉姆·里夫斯)[00:00:00]

It was a stylish congregation you could see they'd been around[00:00:12]

And they had the biggest pipe organ of any church in town[00:00:18]

But over in the Amen Corner of that church sat Brother Ayer[00:00:23]

And he insisted every Sunday on singing in the choir [00:00:26]

His voice was cracked and broken age had touched his vocal chords[00:00:32]

And nearly every Sunday he'd get behind and miss the words[00:00:37]

Well the choir got so flustered the church was told in fine[00:00:43]

That Brother Ayer must stop his singing or the choir was going to resign [00:00:46]

So the pastor appointed a committee I think it was three or four[00:00:52]

And they got in their big fine cars and drove up to Ayer's door[00:00:58]

They find the choir's great trouble sittin' there in an old arm chair[00:01:02]

And the summer's golden sunbeams lay upon his snow white hair [00:01:07]

Said York we're here dear Brother with the vestries approbation[00:01:11]

To discuss a little matter that affects the congregation[00:01:15]

Now it seems that your voice has interfered with the choir[00:01:20]

So if you'll just lay out are you listening Brother Ayer [00:01:22]

The old man raised his head a sign that he had hear[00:01:30]

And on his cheek the three men caught the glitter of a tear[00:01:34]

His feeble hands pushed back the locks as white as silky snow[00:01:38]

And he answered the committee in a voice both soft and low [00:01:42]

I wonder if beyond the tide that's breaking at my feet[00:01:49]

In that far off heavenly temple where my Master and I shall meet[00:01:54]

Yes I wonder if when I try to sing the song of God up higher[00:02:01]

I wonder if they'll kick me out of there for singing in heaven's choir [00:02:08]

A silence filled the little room and the old man bowed his head[00:02:15]

The committee went on back to town but Brother Ayer was dead[00:02:18]

The choir missed him for awhile but he was soon forgotten[00:02:22]

A few church goers watched the door but the old man entered not [00:02:26]

Far away his voice is sweet and he sings his heart desire[00:02:36]

Where are there no church committees and no fashionable choirs [00:02:42]

Let me hide myself in Thee[00:02:47]
