Well we all fall in love,

HE’S NO STRANGER
He’s the wisest man in the church;
There’s nothing he can’t do.

And shows up right on the dot.
Then if you don’t keep your commitment,
He’ll cover you and fill in your

A stranger came by the other day with an offer that set me to thinking. He wanted to buy the old barn that sits out by the highway. I told him right off that he was crazy. He was a city type. You could tell by his clothes, his car, his hands, and the way he talked.
He said he was driving by and saw
