Pass It Along

It was raining at the diner
Someone said it might turn to snow
Late at night and miles from home
I ordered coffee to go
When a young girl recognized me
From the poster on the door
Said you're the guy who was singing at the church
Then she said a whole lot more

She said...
I believed in Jesus long ago
But He let me down so I took another road
Today Jesus to me is no big deal
That's the way I feel
And I challenge you to prove to me he's real

And I said....
I am no prophet
And I cannot show you signs
I'm just a guy who writes some songs
To help make sense of life
And they serve me as my road map
To remind me where I'm going
They're all about the love of Jesus
And when I sing I can pass it along

She said....
I used to go to church there
back When I was just a kid
But I did something real bad wrong
And I haven't been back since
I was 17 and pregnant
And I had to leave my home
The church and my folks disowned me
So I've raised the child alone

I told her....
I am no prophet
And I cannot show you signs
I'm just a guy who writes some songs
To help make sense of life
And they serve me as my road map
To remind me where I'm going
And they're all about the love of Jesus
And when I sing I can pass it along

I've got a wife and two fine kids
And I travel lots of road
And sometimes I can't be there
So my wife takes up the load
And sometimes I feel guilty
But we know what God has in store
She's got her job and I've got mine
And that's how we serve the Lord

So I got my guitar and I sang the songs
I sing in all my shows
I played them soft so I wouldn't draw attention
But a crowd began to grow
I sang of God's forgiveness
Like Jesus was there you know
I could have gone on forever
But it was time for me to go

She said,,,
I know I've been a sinner
In fact I've never done too much right
I'm a girl with little to give
I've not done much with my life
But I'd like to give you something
If you won't think it wrong
Then she kissed me on the cheek
And with moist, red eyes, she said
When you get home you can pass it along

I'm the only person here who is not unique.
