When I am
When I am a famous preacher
I will start a revival
It will spread around the world
And people will be lining up to hear my sermons
They will go on for 3, 4 or 5 hours
People will be enthralled by them
I will publish my sermons in books
Which will become best sellers
I will preach at huge arenas
In front of crowds of millions
Talk show hosts will be begging me to appear
I will discuss theology with the great and good
Perhaps Gogglebox will make an offer for my services
I will present programmes and spread the word
But I will have to start simple
I will preach every other month in my local church
Until my fame spreads wider
All are welcome to come and hear me
So you can say “I knew her when”
