louis rams - Lonely Road

i was walking a black, dark, lonely road
and the fear inside of me, i'm sure had shown.
then i reached to my neck, and took my cross in my hand
and prayed to the LORD above
for his guidance and his love, and that i may see some light.

when in front of me a figure stood
with a bright light radiating from him.
and the road turned from night to day
and i was able to walk my merry way.

they said that there was a total blackout that night.
and how did i get back, without a flashlight?
when i told them, what i had seen
they all began to ridicule me.

all the elders from the town
looked at me with a frown.

how can that possibly be
when it never happened to me?
i am the pastor of this congregation
and we have searched for our salvation.

then here you come and claim you saw a light
radiating from a figure in front of you
and you expect us to believe you too.

are you saying that you're better than us
for in GOD we also put our trust.
why would he choose you and not me?
this is something i can not see.

MAYBE! it's because i was on the road to destruction
and this sign was my obstruction.
and if that is not enough for you:
look at my hand which i held the cross
just so that you could see
that the sign is embedded in me. ++
