Thread Name: Lyr Req: Education From On High (Boyd Van Winkle)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Education up on High and/or He had what
I don't know the song, but it was a belief my father (born and raised in rural Kentucky) often expressed, that it didn't matter if a preacher had no "book learning" as long as he was properly inspired.

Dad was bitter over his own lack of "book learning," and felt he was unfairly scorned by the over-educated masses.

I think the song would have brought him some comfort, and I would like to see it myself.
