[00:00:00] The Preacher & The Stranger - Celtic Thunder

[00:00:00] Written by：Carl Cartee/Jerry Dean Salley Jr.

[00:00:03] We don't have much here

[00:00:06] But you're welcome to it all

[00:00:09] The preacher told the stranger at the door

[00:00:16] Come sit down by this fire

[00:00:19] Let the coffee warm you up

[00:00:22] I can't see I've seen it rain this hard before

[00:00:29] The stranger said

[00:00:31] I saw your sign as I was walking down the road

[00:00:35] And I figured that a church

[00:00:38] Might be the safest place to go

[00:00:43] Well son crosses sure get heavy

[00:00:47] And we've all got one to bear

[00:00:50] And if you're looking for a shelter

[00:00:53] From the storm you'll find one here

[00:00:57] They sat and talked for hours

[00:01:00] There in that empty church

[00:01:04] About how life's unfair sometimes

[00:01:07] Trying to make sense of how god works

[00:01:15] The preacher said

[00:01:16] I lost my son one summer

[00:01:20] He was only 25

[00:01:23] A drunk driver crossed that double yellow line

[00:01:29] And I prayed so hard to Jesus

[00:01:33] To save my only son

[00:01:36] It seems all I do these days is question why

[00:01:42] Now I stand here every Sunday

[00:01:46] And preach to everybody else

[00:01:49] And I talk about forgiveness

[00:01:53] But I can't do it myself

[00:01:58] Son crosses sure get heavy

[00:02:01] And we've all got one to bear

[00:02:04] I don't know why I'm telling you all this

[00:02:07] Or if you even care

[00:02:11] They sat and talked for hours

[00:02:14] There in that empty church

[00:02:18] About how life's unfair sometimes

[00:02:21] Trying to make sense of how god works

[00:02:34] Tears filled the strangers eyes

[00:02:37] He said I know I've changed a lot

[00:02:41] I might be hard for you to recognize

[00:02:47] But late one summer night

[00:02:50] I'd had too much to drink

[00:02:53] I got behind the wheel and changed both of our lives

[00:03:00] I'm sorry just ain't good enough

[00:03:03] When you hurt someone like that

[00:03:07] And if I could

[00:03:08] God knows I'd give my life to bring him back

[00:03:15] Crosses sure get heavy

[00:03:18] And we've all got one to bear

[00:03:22] I'm here to ask forgiveness

[00:03:25] If you even care

[00:03:28] They sat and talked for hours

[00:03:31] There in that empty church

[00:03:35] About how life's unfair sometimes

[00:03:38] Trying to make sense of how god works
