The Perfect Stranger
Your faith was strong like steel and an idol I wanted to reflect
But somehow your heart grew cold and turned sour as you reject
How could this figure that I praised become a man I now despise?
What happened to the hope you shared that sparkled in your eyes
Where does your heart stand now due to everything you have faced?
All this has changed your outlook and your faith has been replaced
Don’t you ever think about all the joy that you will sadly miss?
Because you let your heart stray from the one who gives you bliss
Where did all your dreams go and what made this darkness grow?
I thought that things were going great by what you came to show
But I have slowly watched all of your hope diminish in the wind
How can you go on in life without the help of a perfect friend?
You feel as if your life is finished and nothing matters anymore
You want to run away from all the horror that this world can pour
As it colors a scene of the darkest red that stains like Jesus’ blood
This sinless man loved us enough to die and lift us out of the mud
A Savior’s gift that took our guilt and sorrow far away from here
Cast into the depths of the ocean waters that hold secrets and fear
But eternity rest in the arms of One who shed His life on Calvary
His death brought healing to my soul and has set all the captives free
We are prisoners to this sin that infects our soul that has a purpose
The innocence we hold as a child is stripped away and hit’s the surface
For when were in our adult stages we face new trails and temptations
So set your priorities on spiritual matters that bring us lasting sensations
I have found this world to be a distraction that drives us away from love
Close your eyes and picture blessings falling down like rain from above
Cause your eyes are the window to your soul that seeks true satisfaction
God will guide you through and draw you in like a magnetic attraction
His voice will resound in the wind like chimes that play a pleasant tune
My heartbeat will race like a horse in pursuit of winning really soon
As God’s radar tracks my every movement to carefully see what I’ll do
So friend please don’t give up on God because He will pull you through
Remember how important it is to show the world how you live and walk
Be ready when your faith is challenged and carefully watch the way you talk
Cause actions tell a lot about a person and how they will influence a crowd
Show them what you live for and let them know what makes you feel proud
It’s so sad when we treat Jesus Christ like he is a nothing but a stranger
We only turn to ask for His help when we are truly faced with danger
Let the world see what you hold inside your heart so they know the truth
Don’t let the world tell you how to live your life during your years of youth
It’s so tough to watch a man throw away a future that remained so bright
Unveil your full potential that will glow like a raging fire in the night
Will you push yourself to see just how far that you can really move?
Never pass up a chance to do something great in life that will simply prove
How strong your spirit holds together, forever united in Christ alone
Nothing can break this bond of trust that you have tightly sewn
Into your heart that bleeds with fiery passion that will never cease
My heart escapes the world’s plot to destroy my plan for hope and peace
So smile wide with tear filled eyes that electrify a room that stays quiet
Piercing hearts with words of kindness that can suddenly start a riot
Actions that would stir new emotions that could have a lasting effect
To change a lost soul that has always hidden feelings and who would reject
A message so inspiring and beautiful that it could cause a revolution to rise
Wake up a lost generation that has been searching for clues with blinded eyes
Teach them the importance of having a life that holds real meaning inside
A faith based life with Jesus that we can cherish forever and take great pride
