The Gospel Singer Poem by Francis Duggan

He sang Oh Lord I Saw The Light
As if heaven was in his sight
And perhaps he has the inner glow
Though then again of this i would not know
Since the praises of a universal god i cannot sing
As i doubt the existence of such a thing
But then the man who sang the gospel song
Would view my thinking on religious matters as all wrong
In the lounge room of the suburban bar
The gospel singer sang and strummed on his guitar
To hear him play and sing fans of gospel music came from near and far
On bus and train and motor car
And he sang Oh Lord I Saw The Light
Out of the darkness of the night.
