“The analogy of the
pizza man”
This is my analogy of
the pizza man
He makes a fast
delivery he does the best he can
He brings it there
right to your door and then he rings the bell
You can tell that it’s
the pizza man you can tell just by the smell
He gives the pizza over
to you in a really nice warm box
You thank the man
very much and give a couple of bucks
He thanks you very
kindly for giving him that tip
As he heads back to
the pizza shop to make another trip
The pizza man he gets
the thanks and he gets all the praise
But little does the
customer know not one hand did he raise
To get that nice warm
pizza it was made behind the scenes
Someone had to make
the dough prepare the meat and greens
It took a lot of
baking and prepping to make it right
Then it’s sliced put
in a box for delivery that night
The pizza man
delivers of what’s been done before
He passes on the
goodness that feeds one or maybe four
This is what a
Christian does, to preach, to sing, to share
To feed you when you’re
hungry to show you that they care
When someone
hears the gospel songs they clap adorn and praise
Applaud the singer
and the band with their hands they raise
The preacher can be
popular too depends on who he is
“Cause at the time
when people cheer all applause is his
We’re all just like
the pizza man delivering something new
To feed the hungry
sinful soul the one that’s in the pew
The offering plate is
passed around you give a little tip
Giving thanks and
gratitude for being fed and equipped
The person though
responsible for feeding every soul
Was prepared many
years ago a long, long time ago
Prepared in the
background God prepared the only one
The one to represent
Him would be His only Son
Now when the time was
ready God prepared the Holy Lamb
To die upon that
awful cross it was God’s redemption plan
Just like the pizza
man my friend delivering food to your soul
To feed your hungry
appetite giving Christ to make you whole
However, don’t praise
us as we deliver, we’re doing it for the Lord
We deliver the
message just on time according to His word
So digest the word
that you hear from us, whether preaching or in song
It will strengthen and
nourish your seeking heart if you trust God all day long
I’m only just the
pizza man delivering some wholesome food
I give you all the
ingredients………..the rest is up to you.
