One day as I was walking
Along a lonely road
I came across a person
Of whom I’d not been told

He was not one prestigious –
Not in the eyes of man
He looked like one deserted
Like one whom they had canned

He had a sad composure
For tears were in his eyes
And as I now observed him
Then I began to cry

I wondered what had hurt him
I wondered why so sad
Why was he now deserted?
Had he done something bad?

I listened to his story
I did not interrupt
On him I had compassion
I found him not corrupt

I learned He was our Savior
Who died for all our sins
So we could be forgiven
And we now live for Him

So why was He deserted?
Because of all the lies
So many now reject Him
For they His grace deny

His grace which calls, “Repentance”
His grace which says, “Obey”
His grace which speaks, “Forgiveness”
For grace, do not delay
