I never quite have met a man
like Brother Barron Smith.
I never knew a happier man
than Brother Barron Smith.
Never have I seen a gait
quite as loving, quite as straight
with such passion to elate
as Brother Barron Smith.
No one bore the light of life
like Brother Barron Smith.
Not despairing, nor in strife
was Brother Barron Smith.
He showed me how to go my way:
A beacon glowing night and day.
And, in my heart will always stay
my brother, Barron Smith.
He left his mark and mem'ry here,
did Brother Barron Smith:
A mem'ry I will hold most dear
of Brother Barron Smith.
He lifted me, and did his part
to give my soul a running start!
I hold a chamber in my heart
for Brother Barron Smith.
