Lyrics
The Intersection
Verse 1
I was a barefoot kid with a football dream,
Chasing Friday lights on a broken field team.
Dad taught me how to throw, how to fight, how to stand,
But he couldn’t teach a broken boy how to be a man.
Beer cans rattled like thunder in the hall,
Mama cried quiet while the pictures hit the wall.
When he disappeared, I swore I’d make him pay,
So I quit the game to take his pride away.
Chorus
But all that anger was a loaded gun,
And every shot I fired hit the only son.
I took the backroads, ran from grace,
Wore a thousand masks to hide my face.
Still God sat waiting at the intersection sign,
Patient as forever while I wasted all my time.
I was lost and broken, but hope never died,
’Cause mercy stood there with its arms stretched wide.
Verse 2
High school halls and a heart full of rage,
Writing my rebellion on every single page.
I chased every lie that this old world sold,
Looking for love in places dark and cold.
The farther I wandered, the emptier I’d be,
Till I finally hit the end of me.
That’s when Heaven whispered through the pain,
Calling out my name like the sun after rain.
Chorus
God sat waiting at the intersection sign,
Patient as forever while I wasted all my time.
I was blind and running, but He never moved away,
Just waiting for the prodigal to finally choose His way.
The chains started falling when I looked into His eyes,
And the dead man in me finally came alive.
Bridge
Then He gave me more than I could ever deserve,
More than every prayer, more than every word.
He brought His very best and her name was Amy,
A living reminder of amazing grace that saved me.
Now Colton and Grayson run through the yard,
Emma’s laughing loud, making every day bright.
Kylee’s got a smile that can light the darkest night,
And Isaiah reminds me God’s promises are right.
A quiver full of blessings I could never earn,
Proof that every road can lead home when you turn.
Final Chorus
God was waiting at the intersection all along,
Turning every failure into part of this song.
He took the ashes and He made them something new,
And every promise that He made has proven true.
I’m still being healed, still learning how to stand,
Still placing every scar into nail-scarred hands.
But hope keeps singing when this broken world is gone,
‘Cause I know restoration’s coming before too long.
Outro
One day the hurt will finally lose its hold,
Every tear redeemed, every story told.
Till then I’ll walk by faith beneath Heaven’s sky,
With Amy by my side and my children close by.
And when I see King Jesus face to face,
I’ll thank Him for the waiting and the saving grace.
The boy who was broken will finally be whole,
And Heaven will finish what He started in my soul.
