The Preacher And The Stranger - Celtic Thunder/Neil Byrne/Ryan Kelly

Written by:Carl Cartee/Jerry Dean Salley Jr.

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 it 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

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 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

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

Crosses sure get heavy

And we've all got one to bear

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
