God's Wonderful Way
Divine Revelation in a Barroom: Embracing God's Wonderful Way
Lyrics
One Saturday night in a barroom a gospel singer walked in
Setting the scene on a Saturday night in a barroom where a gospel singer enters.
And bravely she red from the Bible and begged them to turn from the sins
The gospel singer reads from the Bible, urging people to turn away from sin.
Oh come into Jesus she pleaded he'll be your step in the rock
Plea to embrace Jesus, portraying Him as a steadfast foundation.
When one of the drinkers said to her (why I don't believe in your God)
One of the drinkers challenges the belief, expressing disbelief in God.
The silence that followed was awful the others just stood there in fear
The atmosphere becomes tense after the challenge; others are fearful.
But the drunk just kept laughin' and sayin' why doesn't your Jesus appear
The drunk continues to mock, questioning why Jesus doesn't appear.
Then one of the others who stood there said that's enough of that now
Another person intervenes, signaling that the mockery has gone too far.
What lead you to think that Lord Jesus would bother with you anyhow
Doubting the worthiness of the drunk to be acknowledged by Jesus.
Why you're only a bum and a drunker and nothin' that you can say
Dismissing the drunk as insignificant and incapable of reaching God.
Would reach up to God in heaven ans make him go out of his way
Asserting that the drunk's words hold no sway with God.
And then came the voice of a starnger who stood just outside at the door
A stranger's voice is introduced, standing outside the door and unseen before.
The stranger who simply was passing by for no one had seen him before
Clarification that the stranger was passing by, implying a divine presence.
Oh listen to me all you people the place lit up as he smiled
The stranger addresses everyone, and the place brightens as he smiles.
Our Lord marks the fall of a sparrow and every man is his child
Emphasizing God's care, even for the smallest creatures like sparrows.
There's none so great or so lowly that God's sweet mercy denies
No one is beyond God's mercy, regardless of status.
And even the ones who denounce him will never be lost in his eyes
Even those who reject God will not be lost in His eyes.
And then he lifted his right hand and smiled up on everyone
The stranger lifts his hand, radiating positivity to everyone.
And the last words he said were like music I know because I am his son
The stranger claims to be God's son and shares uplifting words.
Now each who was there will remember those words to his very last day
The impact of the stranger's words lingers in the memories of those present.
When Jesus appeared in a barroom and told the God's wonderful way
The climax where Jesus appears in a barroom, revealing God's wonderful way.
