I’ve never really known
A rattlesnake preacher
No doubt if I had
They would have scared the %#*!
Out of me
Truthfully, just the thought of them
Scares me a little
But also intrigues me
What passionate faith they must have
No I do not believe a person
Has to grab hold of a deadly live snake
To prove they are filled
With the Holy Spirit
But I have to admit
There have been days in my life
That I wish I had
The passionate faith it takes
To grab a live rattlesnake by the tail
Maybe
If I had had that kind of faith
I could have saved my son
From drugs and jail
