A Day In The Life
A Week In The Life
Hamburgers and hot dogs given to men and women ravaged by a ruthless city and a kingdom of darkness Tough skin and grated voices asking for mercy and love Worn and used women with black eyes cry for an ear to hear their story Old friend once redeemed is once again shaking with the drug that had held him a year ago Large man named Grace And Strength meets a small man named Love And Mercy Grace And Strength has a coffee with Love And Mercy, I'm invited Another man named Humility speaks of the role of a deacon like Stephen A woman named Wisdom let's me know I'm a Stephen He was murdered, but he died with a smile on his face Make me a saint, I pray, and so I go to court with a homeless guy who needs a ticket for camping cleared up Make me a saint, I pray, so I'm invited to breakfast with a priest named Beauty Make me a saint, I pray, so I'm welcomed into the home of a man who sleeps under the overpass Make me a saint, I pray, so I'm challenged by a teenage girl to make a defense for what I believe Make me a saint, I pray, so I'm surrounded by the love and prayers of friends more true and good than I could ever have the boldness to ask for Make me a saint, I pray, so I celebrate the birthday of one of the oddest friends I have Make me a saint, I pray, so I am confronted by a man who tells me to take the cross I'm wearing off Make me a saint, I pray, so a little girl with a learning disability tells me that she loves me Make me a saint, I pray, so I am escorted into a life I never would have chosen if not for the friends that brought me to it Make me a saint, I pray. Make me a saint.
