Two travelers walking in the shadow of dusk Feet kicking dirt dreams buried in dust Their eyes low their hope’s on the brink But a stranger appears says what do you think The man speaks in riddles sharp as a blade Stories of a kingdom and promises made He broke bread like the world cracked open wide And their hearts caught fire with Him by their side A son with a hunger thought he'd chase the gold Left his father's arms with a life uncontrolled Spent it all fast on the glitter and lies But the glitter fades quick and the soul just dies He rehearsed his shame in the mud and the rain But the father ran arms wide like a hurricane No judgment no blame just a feast and a ring A prodigal son now the heavens sing Two roads two hearts both led astray But grace doesn't quit it finds its way Through the dark through the ash through the pain of the fall Grace is the answer to call On the road to grace where the lost are found Where the broken rise where the chains fall down He walks with me even when I'm blind On the road to grace I find what's mind The book of Luke A whisper of hope in the shadow of the hills Mary sang a song that the whole world feels Lifted her voice to the heavens above Said the lowly rise when they're touched by love A table of kings but the crumbs will fall The meek will eat yeah they'll have it all She carried the weight she carried the light Her soul magnified what was right A man on the road saw a stranger bleed Walked past the fear let his heart take the leed Poured out oil wrapped the wounds tight Mercy's the law when the world's lost sight Nine coins clink but the tenth’s gone astray The shepherd leaves ninety nine to light the way And the son comes home dirt on his skin Father says boy you were lost now you're kin The first is last the last is first The hungry fed no one cursed What's thrown away He makes whole The lost are found magnify my soul Magnify my soul let the lost be found Turn the broken piece into holy ground Magnify my soul let the humble rise Heaven meets the earth when love open eyes The book of Luke Walking through the streets dust on His feet Where the broken hearts and the lost souls meet He said love your neighbor even your foe Turn the other cheek let compassion grow A widow cries her son is gone He touched the bier said rise move on Blind man sees the leper's clean He flips the script on what life means He fed the five with a couple of loaves Taught us to serve not to sit on thrones Parables dropped like wisdom stones Find the lost sheep bring it back home A sinner weeps she pours her tears He wipes the shame erases fears Says your faith has made you whole Healing hands they touch the soul It's not the rich not the proud He lifts But the humble hearts with their hands as gifts The Healer's flow let the mercy show Love so deep it's the seed we sow Forgive give let the kindness grow In the shadow of the cross we find the glow The book of Luke
