?THE MESSAGE ON THE WALL?

I turned wrong along the highway, homeward bound
Wound up lost in a mean part of town
Then a sign among graffiti caught my eye
Talking change to the gangs cruising by

Chorus:

It said Jesus Saves
In letters two feet tall
Spray painted red
Two words ? that was all
But someday, some may sing
Glory to the King
Because of the message
On the wall

Further down, I found an entrance to the freeway
Saw a long-haired young man kneel and pray
Then begin to paint the sign I?d seen before
It was weighing on my mind more and more

Chorus: Repeat

Home again, I scanned an item in the news
Homeless man ? long, brown hair, paint stained shoes
Had been found, after gunfire in the ?hood
Near a wall, spattered red with his blood

Chorus:

It said Jesus saves
In letters two feet tall
Spray painted red
Two words ? that was all
Surely that brave soul
Will walk streets of gold
Now I believe the message
On the wall
