The Preacher and the Stranger (Live)
Joey & Rory

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
