Steel in the Storm

[Verse 1]
Headlights carving through the white
Salt spread rattling in the night
Dashboard Bible, pages torn
Coffee cooling in the storm
Snow keeps falling, mile by mile
I talk to Jesus all the while
[Chorus]
I’m just a plow truck driver in the storm
Clearing one cold, crooked road till the morn
But He’s the one who moves the mountain I can’t climb
I just push this blade and follow in His line
If He can scrape my heart of ice and stone
He can bring you safely home
[Verse 2]
Radio preacher, crackling sound
Says grace can reach the frozen ground
Yellow beacons spin and shine
Like mercy on this heart of mine
Every drift I push aside
Feels like sins He washed and dried
[Chorus]
I’m just a plow truck driver in the storm
Clearing one cold, crooked road till the morn
But He’s the one who moves the mountain I can’t climb
I just push this blade and follow in His line
If He can scrape my heart of ice and stone
He can bring you safely home
[Bridge]
Whiteout on this county road
Wipers fight a heavy load
Then I see a stranded car (hey!)
Flashin’ hazards in the dark
I pull over, say “Climb in”
Tell ’em how He pulled me in
[Chorus]
I’m just a plow truck driver in the storm
Clearing one cold, crooked road till the morn
But He’s the one who moves the mountain I can’t climb
I just push this blade and follow in His line
If He can scrape my heart of ice and stone
He can bring you safely home
Yeah, if He could bring this wanderer back where I belong
He can bring you safely home
