The Church Needs Good Deacons

Oh Stephen, he was a real good deacon
 And he was a man that did love Christ
 He was really full of the Holy Ghost
 And he did the very thing that's right
 Right now, we have some real good deacons
 Then we have some deacons ain't right
 All on earth some of them is fittin' for
 Is to run around at night
 A deacon, he must be a clean man
 And he must live a mighty smooth life
 He must have his children under good control
 And be the husband of one wife
 But instead of being the deacon
 That he really ought to be
 He won't put up with one honest woman
 He will try to live with two or three
 A man like that he's in a bad fix
 And he thinks he's doin' very well
 And the devil is got him by the hand
 Just a-leadin' him all in Hell
 You read Paul's letter to Timothy
 Those words doth profit very much
 If a man knows not how to take care of his own household
 Well, he cannot care for God's church
