They knew They could tell They read my heart They saw right through __________________________________ Hailing a ride after work one day the driver spoke to me this is what he had to say he met a woman he was trying to save his nerves were racked afraid of himself what he might lack wanting to be free from a life of favors she was tired of being the game played by players Whether a fool or knight of hope he wanted her to move on, cope to break free completely You see He was married so long ago he forgot certain feelings physical leanings temptation gnawed at honest intent time to back off or pree-sent this was his chance to vent To him it was a head and heart rush his blood was pumping with every second his heart was thumping What was this guy getting into? He must not be sure whatever it is the man has heart the woman has allure Turning to me out of his lips came the words “pray with me”… You’re a Christian From the time you stepped in you were gentle it was not ax-idental You leant me your ear never dismissed me or my fear Your tone clearly shows you respect your fellow man you may not know what to say just do the best you can I’m at my wit’s end cause I don’t know what’s around the bend So we prayed wishing him the best that both may find peace and rest I said whatever you do do what’s right keep God at the center you’ve let this woman enter your life don’t let your desire become self-centered This woman knows your heart she’s either looking for a hero or she’ll tear you apart. Looking down the road we asked for clear perception with each step we act in His will love without exception For that driver this I say the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak I pray you are well that you abide in the Lord’s strength that his face is what you seek ____________________________________ They knew They could tell They read my heart They saw right through _____________________________________ Way back in university one day a student spoke to me this is what he had to say he fought with sexual nature discouraged in a sea of religious students he felt sympathy was malnourished We often talked through his last days there comparing his feelings with others laying the abundant hypocrisy bare in himself, his brothers it was good to clear the air and share completely you see There was little affirmation that was expec-ted the lack of compassion was what impac-ted alienated few friends by his side wandering alone no one tried to take him in stride He knew everyone’s a sinner fallen short of the glory of God absence of sympathy made him bitter those who recognized faults of their own the need of a savior wouldn’t die to pride and anger Near the end of his time with me he turned and said “pray with me”… You’re a Christian From the first time we spoke you were respectful it was not ax-idental You leant me your ear never dismissed me or my fear Your conduct shows you respect your fellow man You may not know what to say just do the best you can I’m at my wit’s end but I trust you you’ve made me your friend So we prayed though we didn’t see eye to eye we thanked God we were able to meet I sighed I didn’t know what to say I was a freshman a long way from spiritual discretion knowledge of the bible wanting I was a youth in the midst of dawning but a gay man saw Jesus in my heart before I knew how much he was there from the start Thank you my friend for sharing Thank you for the bit part For that student this I say I’m sorry… Christ died for all there is no catch man’s love can’t compare will never match ______________________________ They knew They could tell They read my heart They saw right through They knew They could tell They read my heart They saw right through They knew They could tell They read my heart They saw right through They knew They could tell They read my heart They saw right through They knew They could tell read my heart saw right through They knew They could tell They read my heart They saw right through They knew They could tell read my heart saw right through
