MIRACLES IN THE PARK
I’m strolling thru the park taking a look around
Wino’s begging for money, homeless sleeping on the ground
Prostitutes on corners, addicts are getting high
A mother searching for her child who never said goodbye
I went to the hospital to visit an old friend
Crippled from a car wreck, she’ll never walk again
She just stopped by the bar to have a drink or two
Causing a collision she never meant to do
I could’ve been driving with that bottle in my hand
Or working on that corner where the prostitutes would stand
A box I could’ve slept in that I once had called my home
Drugs may’ve been my best friend while on the streets we’d roam
But Heaven’s door flew open and grace rained down on me
Washing away those bad things that He died for on that tree
I began praying for all these people, I’d seen thru out the day
I knew that God was listening for He taught me how to pray
I went to church on Sunday and was looking for a seat
And walking in behind me was the prostitutes from the street
So I reached out to hug them and say God is answering prayers
They said an angel came and told us that Jesus really cares
Though our sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow
Jesus died for us that day just to let us know
That he would rather go to hell for you and me
Than go to Heaven, without taking us you see
I went back to the park to take a stroll around
There stood the wino, but he was no longer bound
He was talking about Jesus as tears rolled down his cheek
“I heard the Master call me and He gave me words to speak
Miracles are happening to the people in the park
Light is taking over to these who were in the dark
The mother found her daughter, the one who ran away
When she cried out to God and said “Lord show her the way”
I headed to the hospital to see my crippled friend
When I got to the doorway I saw a miracle again
My friend walked up to me and said, “Me and Jesus had a talk
He said, if you just believe in Me you can pick up your mat and walk”
God, You showed me many miracles in the midst of all this sin
Your grace rained on this park and lives were born again
My daughter, I showed you all of this just to let you know
I love each and every sinner, it’s the sin that I hate so
You see, I gave the wino a new heart with lots of love to give
So he opened up a shelter for the homeless a place to live
And now I feed the hungry thru that wino that had a begging hand
I gave him an inheritance straight from the promised land
And then I showed the addicts that drugs lead them to death
That Satan lures you with these drugs that take your very last breath
I led them thru the valley where they all cried out to Me
Then I showed My agape love when I died upon that tree
So no matter where you’re headed, in the park or on the street
I perform this miracle, I AM the Master you will meet
No matter what you’re doing, no matter what your sin
I AM always your Shepherd, and My mercy will walk in
