The woman on the train
…
Doesn’t know your name
But she knows your game
She sees the lines on your face
And the hair out of place
She holds your gaze
But you look away
She smiles
But you can’t bear the joy
The eyes divert
Your heart is too hurt
Too wounded to brave
A simple ‘hey’
Too bruised to say
‘Have a nice day’
You distrust her,
Don’t you?
You’re over humanity’s game
You think she is the same
That she’ll exploit your pain
But no
She is clothed in grace
She lives for another Name
She seeks life and light
She’ll love you despite
Your game shames
Push it away
What if you embrace
c h a n g e
What is change?
Wait.
Think again
Wrong question
Who can change?
Ah.
Who
The Change-Maker
The Maker
Not a heart-breaker
But a life-saver
Ah.
What if
You caved
What if you say,
A simple ‘hey’
To the One who knows your name
See this woman on the train
Wonders after your heart
She holds the key
An answer to your need
To your searching
What if you received
The key to life
What if you believed
The Light
Do you see?
Do you want to see?
Are you free?
Or are you
h i d i n g
How to flee
The dark
How to free
The heart
Oh.
The key
J E S U S
Deep release
He holds
The keys.
The way
To eternity
