Being faithful to God isn't all about ceremony. Some people have to be out on the fields while everyone else sits in the chapel and listen to the preacher. Well, Chancey Williams wants to shine a light on the preachers in pearl snap who carry their faith with them everywhere they go.
Even if they can't always make it through the church doors.
In what's an incredibly sweet and sincere track, Williams reminds everyone that the most important thing is simply to have faith. Whether your butt's in a saddle or the pews, so long as you have your faith, there's not much more that can be asked from you.
I personally love the line "You may not see him in the church when the Sabbath rolls around / 'Cause he's a pastor in the pasture on the other side of town."
That is what sums up this powerful song to me.
You can listen to "Pearl Snap Preacher" below. It will be available on streaming platforms tomorrow.
Chancey Williams Expresses His Faith
In a statement shared with Wide Open Country, Chancey Williams expresses what his faith and his parents' faith means to him. He also speaks on the people he think will resonate with "Pearl Snap Preacher."
"I think a lot of farmers and ranchers and people who come from rural areas will especially relate to 'Pearl Snap Preacher,' and see the character in themselves or people they know," Williams shared.
"I'm definitely who I am because of both of my parents. Their unwavering faith, not only in God, but also in each other, and in the benefits of hard work and always trying to do the right thing, is just part of who I am now."
"I don't really wear my faith on my sleeve, but that doesn't mean it isn't with me everywhere I go."
The importance of faith to Williams, and what it truly means to have faith, is clear as day in the song.
