Lyrics
He sleeps on the sidewalk in the middle of town
Across from the church where the lost are found
A cardboard box is his mansion on a hill
Saints and sinners, all pass him by
They'd all like to help but don't take the time
Way too busy with kingdoms they've gotta build
He's a soul lost in the shadow of the cross
Except for the grace of God that could be you and me
Maybe the world looks different through his eyes
If we did all we could to help him be all he could be
Would he be someone we wouldn't recognize
And not just lost in the shadow of the cross
Forgotten, unwanted, they bow their head
At the downtown mission where the hungry are fed
A bowl of soup and the Bread of Life
For a while a refuge from their storm
No, it ain't much but it's safe and warm
But it's more than enough for those trying to stay alive
All those lost in the shadow of the cross
Except for the grace of God that could be you and me
Maybe the world looks different through their eyes
If we did all we could to help them be all they could be
Would they be someone we wouldn't recognize
All those lost in the shadow of the cross
All those lost in the shadow of the cross
