CROSS IN THE ROADWAY

CROSS IN THE ROADWAY
LYRICS BY ALICE MARAGLIA
WRITTEN 2019


I was stopped in traffic on a hot summer's day
praying for God to show me a better way.
As I looked up from my steering wheel
bells were ringing, red lights flashing,
for the Cross in the Roadway.

Two outstretched arms laid across those old train tracks
two cars crossed over and never came back.
They ignored the signs that came that day
from the Cross in the Roadway.

I heard a voice from heaven say
"I put that Cross in the Roadway to remind
you to slow down someday.
I was running out of time, more things to do,
but that old Cross in the Roadway kept me
before my time was due.

Oh when I look back on that day, only to see
how God spared my life from being struck on that
track.  If it wasn't for the old Cross in the Roadway

When your life feels like it's lost it's meaning
and there is only one way out,
Remember, round every cornier that 
Cross in the Roadway that keeps us on track.
