Found On The Road

Bruised with a busted lip
I couldn't handle it
Ransacked for all I have
Lifelessly left on the road
No other place to go
Lost for breath to call for help
I thought that the 'good people' would
Come to aid in my distress
But then they just came and went
Across the road
I was on my own

Broken and left for dying
Abandoned in such a crisis
But came along a song I didn't know
To a tune I didn't like
And You found me

Why did You ever think
To take any time here to
Find me on this road?
(This road)
And who sent You
With such compassion
That the world disproved?
All their fake virtues
But still You saw my need
And You loved me

You can call it "church hurt"
Or you can call it "culture"
All I see is that the world robbed me
And so-called 'good people' leave
But what standards are these?
Some say "be good"
And some say "we're enough"
But I call your bluff on this fake sense of love
Liberty and legalism have left me empty
All this world and the good people left me

So why did You ever think
To take any time here to
Find me on this road?
Aren't You alone?
And who sent You
With such compassion
That the world disproved?
All their fake virtues
But still You saw my need
And You loved me

I was lost, then I got turned around
A neighbor helped me find truth
And then I got found on this road
Found on the road

It was a man who was despised
Covered my wounds in oil and wine
When I had nothing, He had compassion
An unlikely neighbor from an unsightly place and
He paid my way and He saved my life
A story from the Savior to open my eyes
So I turn around, I receive forgiveness
I hear You call, "Do likewise"

So why would I ever go anywhere
But take the time to find them on the road?
He's with you as you go
So He sends you with such compassion
That the world can't move
Much persecution
But still you, follow Christ
And love with your life

We were lost, then we got turned around
A neighbor helped us find truth
And then we got found on this road
Found on the road
