Ride

There's an urgent feeling, sweeping 'cross the land Could the hourglass be approaching, it's final grain of sand Terror pulls the trigger, hearts begin to quake Searching for a way to escape....... There's a Revelation in the back of the book 'Talks about a tribulation, It's bad everywhere you look But down at the Station,folks are boarding fast Leaving from what's gonna come to pass To the restless, the rejected, to the broken and the blue The Messenger's still shouting all about the Good News Thank GOD some have listened, they've heard the whistle blow As angels sing "Sweet Chariot Swing Low" On that train ain't no tension, ain't no talking trash Ain't no poor folks section, everybody rides first class See that light in the tunnel, the redeemed are coming through And the Redemption Rail has room for you But you ain't got enough money to buy a ticket on that train 'Cause they've all been purchased in a Carpenter's name But if you want to claim him as your destiny Come on!! You can ride...for free! Written by Chuck Melugin

I love the rhyme, the way this flows is just perfect. I love the line, "The restless, the rejected, to the broken and the blue.." it's so powerful! Thank you for sharing. Love, Juli-Michelle
