A world-wearied man with tear filled eyes | |
Walked in off the street of the uncommonly wise | |
Into the church meeting, with this story he came | |
Sometimes angels and strangers are one and the same | |
The preacher said “ | |
Sir, you’re welcome in here | |
Now tell us as much as you’d want us to hear” | |
And the stranger said, “ | |
It was no more than an hour ago, people, | |
I was lookin’ for shelter for the night.”“ | |
I wanted to go somewhere out of the way,somewhere peaceful and quiet.”“ | |
So I went to a cemetery, close by | |
Thompson Lane,and with full respect | |
I entered it and found rest from the rain.”“ | |
I laid down under a sycamore, an’ | |
I was barely asleep,when someone said “ | |
Hello stranger” and touched the boots on my feet.”“ | |
His hair was pure silver, almost like a crown of glory on top,and the rain didn’t touch him, not one single drop.”“ | |
His voice was familiar, it brought me comfort and peace.”“ | |
He laughed and said, “ | |
Well, we picked a strange place to meet,but | |
I understand, | |
I’ve often come here to pray,when the burdens of life put stones in my way.”“ | |
And you see friend, you and me, we’re brothers,though we’ve never met.”“ | |
We’ve both known heartache, disappointment and the pain of regret.”“ | |
The full weight of sadness, love and it’s cost,and without love, a soul is nothing, but empty and lost.”“ | |
And I’ve come to tell you, to go on now and be brave.”“ | |
You can live again.”“ | |
You know it’s her love that you crave.”“ | |
Go find the one you left behind, hold her, take her by the hand.”“ | |
Show her how much you need her, | |
I believe she’ll understand.”“ | |
Now son you take a look at this ground, it’s filled with things unsaid.”“ | |
There’s a world of good intentions here in the land of the dead.”“ | |
And friend | |
I’m here to tell ya, on this very night, | |
I was sent by your | |
Maker, the giver of life, to tell you there’s restfor your soul.”“ | |
There’s peace and relief, if you’ll just surrender your burdens.”“ | |
Lay them at | |
God’s feet.”“ | |
Walk out of this place.”“ | |
Go now and live in the light of a pure perfect presence,that loves and forgives.” | |
He wore a long purple coat, covered in wheels | |
Red leather boots, with sparkling heels | |
On a dark stormy night, a lost soul was saved | |
Brought into the fold on | |
