Parson:
Come, Son, I am not here to judge you.
Zeke:
Oh, Pappy, I've sinned. I've sinned! And I'm hangin' on the edge of hell!
Parson:
Yes, Son, but the Lord forgives.
Zeke:
My heart is achin' for my poor brother. Oh, my heart is achin'! Oh, Pappy, show me how to repent. Show me the way.
Parson:
Look, Son, the Lord has sent an angel to show you the way. Can't you see him comin' in that snow-white chariot, in his snow-white robe? Can't you hear him, Son? It is the angel of the Lord that comforts them that mourns. Look, Son! Can't you see him?
Zeke:
Yes, Pappy, I see him and I hear him. The Lord has done shown me the light. The Lord has shown the truth of his creation. I lay my brother down in the ground. But, the ground can't hold my brother. No, Pappy, the ground can't hold him. For the Lord is stronger than the ground. But the Lord is the ground. The Lord is the sky and the heavens and the moon and the sun. The Lord is the earth and all the living things on earth. The Lord in his kingdom. Ain't no pain. Ain't no more sorrow. And there ain't no more death. So, why wail and grieve?
