	A world-wearied man with tear filled eyes
	Walked in off the street of the uncommonly wise
	Into the church meeting, with this story he came
	Sometimes angels and strangers are one and the same
	The preacher said “
	Sir, you’re welcome in here
	Now tell us as much as you’d want us to hear”
	And the stranger said, “
	It was no more than an hour ago, people,
	I was lookin’ for shelter for the night.”“
	I wanted to go somewhere out of the way,somewhere peaceful and quiet.”“
	So I went to a cemetery, close by
	Thompson Lane,and with full respect
	I entered it and found rest from the rain.”“
	I laid down under a sycamore, an’
	I was barely asleep,when someone said “
	Hello stranger” and touched the boots on my feet.”“
	His hair was pure silver, almost like a crown of glory on top,and the rain didn’t touch him, not one single drop.”“
	His voice was familiar, it brought me comfort and peace.”“
	He laughed and said, “
	Well, we picked a strange place to meet,but
	I understand,
	I’ve often come here to pray,when the burdens of life put stones in my way.”“
	And you see friend, you and me, we’re brothers,though we’ve never met.”“
	We’ve both known heartache, disappointment and the pain of regret.”“
	The full weight of sadness, love and it’s cost,and without love, a soul is nothing, but empty and lost.”“
	And I’ve come to tell you, to go on now and be brave.”“
	You can live again.”“
	You know it’s her love that you crave.”“
	Go find the one you left behind, hold her, take her by the hand.”“
	Show her how much you need her,
	I believe she’ll understand.”“
	Now son you take a look at this ground, it’s filled with things unsaid.”“
	There’s a world of good intentions here in the land of the dead.”“
	And friend
	I’m here to tell ya, on this very night,
	I was sent by your
	Maker, the giver of life, to tell you there’s restfor your soul.”“
	There’s peace and relief, if you’ll just surrender your burdens.”“
	Lay them at
	God’s feet.”“
	Walk out of this place.”“
	Go now and live in the light of a pure perfect presence,that loves and forgives.”
	He wore a long purple coat, covered in wheels
	Red leather boots, with sparkling heels
	On a dark stormy night, a lost soul was saved
	Brought into the fold on
	Porter Wagoner’s grave
