Nelson Price – A Faithful Servant
The years became a testimony of grace.
The pulpit bore the echo of truth.
A family held his love without measure.
The church felt his shepherd’s heart.
Christ remained his all-consuming passion.
The seasons passed, yet he never wavered.
Every sermon lifted eyes toward heaven.
Every word carried the weight of Scripture.
Every prayer was rooted in faith.
Every step showed trust in the Lord.
He loved without drawing attention to himself.
He served without asking for reward.
He gave without holding anything back.
He prayed with the fire of conviction.
He lived with a heart set on eternity.
The race is complete, the crown prepared.
The labor is finished, the rest secure.
The reward is Christ Himself.
The voice that preached now sings.
The servant now beholds the Master.
We are left with memory and mission.
We are left with a legacy of faith.
We are left with courage to follow.
We are left with hope of reunion.
We are left with Christ, the same Lord he loved.
NELSON PRICE –The Life He Lived
The pulpit was his altar.
The Word was his treasure.
The Savior was his joy.
The people were his burden.
The cross was his message.
No crown mattered but Christ’s.
No applause but heaven’s.
No ambition but faithfulness.
No hope but eternal.
No legacy but obedience.
He loved his wife with devotion.
He loved his daughters with tenderness.
He loved his church with prayer.
He loved his Lord with all.
He loved to the very end.
Now his work is complete.
His voice rests but still speaks.
His reward is the presence of Christ.
His testimony will not fade.
His Savior has welcomed him home.
And I remain with gratitude.
And I remain with hope.
And I remain with courage to follow.
And I remain with Christ before me.
And I remain with his example behind me.
Personal Prayer
Lord, I thank You for Dr. Nelson Price. You gave him as a shepherd and teacher, and through his words and his life, You drew me closer to Christ. His example of faithfulness leaves me humbled and hungry to walk with You as he did.
Father, please comfort his family with Your peace. Surround Trudy and their daughters with the assurance of Your presence. Let them know their husband and father is with You, safe and whole, rejoicing in the glory he long preached about.
And for me, Lord, help me to live the lessons he taught—not just with my lips, but with my life. Let his faith stir my faith, his courage strengthen my courage, and his devotion deepen my devotion. May I, too, finish my course with faithfulness, until I see You face to face. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
