| We don’t have much here
|
| But you’re welcome to it all
|
| The preacher told the stranger at the door
|
| Come sit down by this fire
|
| Let the coffee warm you up
|
| I can’t see I’ve seen rain this hard before
|
| The stranger said «I saw your sign, as I was walking down the road»
|
| «And I figured that a church might be the safest place to go»
|
| Well son, crosses sure get heavy
|
| And we’ve all got one to bear
|
| And if you’re looking for a shelter
|
| From the storm, you’ll find one here
|
| They sat and talked for hours
|
| There in that empty church
|
| About how life’s unfair sometimes
|
| Trying to make sense of how God works
|
| The preacher said
|
| «I lost my son one summer,
|
| And he was only 25
|
| A drunk driver crossed that double yellow line
|
| And I prayed so hard to Jesus,
|
| To save my only son
|
| It seems all I do these days is question why
|
| Now I stand here every Sunday, and preach to everybody else
|
| And I talk a lot about forgiveness, but I can’t do it myself»
|
| Son, crosses sure get heavy
|
| And we’ve all got one to bear
|
| I don’t know why I’m telling you all this
|
| Or if you even care
|
| They sat and talked for hours
|
| There in that empty church
|
| About how life’s unfair sometimes
|
| Trying to make sense of how God works
|
| Tears filled the strangers eyes
|
| He said «I know I’ve changed a lot
|
| I might be hard for you to recognize
|
| But late one summer night
|
| I’d had too much to drink
|
| I got behind the wheel and changed both of our lives
|
| And 'I'm sorry' just ain’t good enough, when you hurt someone like that
|
| And if I could, God knows I’d give my life to bring him back»
|
| Preacher, crosses sure get heavy
|
| And we’ve all got one to bear
|
| And I’m here to ask forgiveness
|
| If you even care
|
| They sat and talked for hours
|
| There in that empty church
|
| About how life’s unfair sometimes
|
| Trying to make sense of how God works |
